Is Winning and Being Likable Mutually Exclusive?

[Volizona]

Just curious as we are going through all of these college football coaching changes. It seems like the successful coaches

Phone keeps cutting off my message. Basically wondering if it’s only the unlikable jerks, sleazy type coaches who always win (saban, Kirby, Meyer, Spurrier etc) and nice guys finish last - Napier, Pittman types.

And some say Heupel is too nice after a loss. Do we as a society prefer the dirty rotten scoundrels, cut throat, killer instinct type coaches or is there a place for the kinder gentler coaches and can they have success

And actually I don’t think Spurrier was sleazy but he was definitely cut throat. Lol looks like I’ll be the first OP with a thread where it’s only me responding to myself.

I suppose they are only sleezy when you are rooting against them, correct?

I mean let's be honest, Phil was exactly a choirboy.
