WWBKD. What would Bobby Knight do. ;)


Wipe his ass with toilet paper and show it to his team to demonstrate how crappy they were playing.


[Edited after some had liked:

as if his team hadn't realized they were playing like crap until Bobby Knight showed him his own excrement on a piece of toilet paper!]

If JG had missed a pass that he normally hit.....I can understand (Whitten)
Hurd should have been sent to the locker room. He was a cancer. However, Jones wasn't in a position to degrade anyone having learned what a POS he is.
CJP did what he should have done considering what the kid did. He should have taken his helmet away and told him to sit his ass on the bench for the rest of the game.

You named 3 completely different situations that needed 3 different responses. JG has been doing this crap since he has been here. Last year was an indication that he couldn't be trusted, the first 2 losses were more of the same. He needs to be gone and what CJP did may help that along.

Like JG didn't realize he had screwed up? Like everyone didn't know it? If you need your boss or your wife or your husband or your colleague or your parent to yell at you to understand, that's a "you" problem . . .

The vast majority of the time, however, the yeller or screamer or violent one has simply lost control of themselves and nothing demonstrates a lack of leadership more than a lack of control . . . as a matter of fact, most people simply lose respect for that person . . . and tune them out . . . and stop listening . . .

I absolutely agree, however, that different strategies work for different people, but there is very little supporting evidence that yelling, beating, or humiliating people elicits positive behavior change. On the contrary, there is quite a large amount of supporting data that shows that yelling, beating, or humiliating people elicits negative responses . . .

Either teach JG better and correct his mistakes and put him back in or bench him . . . but yelling and screaming at him . . . does nothing but make the yeller look a fool . . .

did anyone whoever fumbled not realize that he fumbled? I mean consider the absurdity of this: "Man, thank god Coach yelled and screamed at me or I would have never understood that fumbling was bad or that I need to take better care of the ball. If Coach had taken any other approach, I would have continued in my ignorant ways."

I mean, c'mon, man.

Repeat offenders have to be treated with a bit more force.

Ever been to boot camp?

It turns out the most disciplined, efficient warriors in the world. And they're NOT preparing men and women to just win a game, they're teaching them to execute the given orders, perform their assigned tasks, not let their brothers and sisters down..... sound familiar though?

It works. The best soldiers on the planet. There IS some yelling involved, in case you had bone spurs.

If you think Pruitt was upset just because jg fumbled you are very much mis informed.

It's as though VN hasn't watched anything but the Bama game.

Were this the ONLY JG issue, I'd get it, but.....

And to be fair, he has had moments, but he's too unstable under stress or lacks the instincts or reads defenses on a middle school level..... I dunno, wish I did, but he's not SEC ready.

Also to be fair, is Shrout SEC ready? I dunno. What I've seen is iffy.

So...... go with not ready and old or likely not ready and young? FML...... this is my Vols?

Soft approaches lead to soft people. Too bad you grew up in an environment that allowed you to be soft
 
I kinda like the idea...Just have to get their Attention...

And that is a big part of the problem anymore. There is no respect for authority figures because they are perceived not as authority figures but someone who has the "right" to strongly suggest what you should do and not do. This kind of attitude just needs someone to get their attention.

One time when his players came in for practice the day after game, one of the players found his locker empty except for a tennis racket and tennis ball. He took the ball and racket to the gym and asked BK what was going on. BK told him that since he can not play as part of the team, he needs to play tennis so he can play as an individual and he was off the Basketball Team. And he was.

None whatsoever. My high school coaching staff did way worse!

Anyone here who played high school football ever receive a surprise "cup check?" We did! Every once in a while, one of our coaches would walk by you and flip you in the nads, yelling "cup check!!" If you were wearing your cup, you were good. If you weren't, well, you didn't feel too good for a few minutes LOL! Needless to say, nobody on our team went without wearing their cups!
 
I thought it was just a tug just to make sure he had his attention so no problem. Now if he had done a Woody Hayes and yanked on it half way around and held it, then in this day and age I would say that would be excessive. Just my opinion.

Not sure it'll draw a flag from the referee!
 
I would’ve taken his helmet, sat him in the corner and shook my finger at him, TIMEOUT for you little guy!

The only people that has a problem with it are the weak and sensitive snowflakes. They are the same ones who thinks that their kids deserves a participation trophies. They are actually pathetic and need to stick their kids in knitting classes
The Western World is effed
