The best part for me was seeing the love coach has for those kids and how much they love him. He is a players coach. Good bull.
Absolutely. It made me miss my days coaching HS JV football.
I remember when Sumlin came on board was the first time I heard the term "players' coach." It was tossed around to several coaches who seemed to let their programs be player-run, and kept a loose leash on anything happening.
Elko gives a much different definition it seems. Accountability, high expectations, and high standards with discipline coming from a place of love and true caring not just about wins and losses, but the well-being of each member of the program.
At least that's how it seems to me.
