In the end, leadership comes down to consistency and strong, confident action upon which the team can rely - and this doesn't mean imposing a bunch of rules.

Coaches aren't concentrating enough of the technical part of this game and that could lead to injuries.

Really, coaching is simplicity. It's getting players to play better than they think that they can.

I do think coaches need to get away from the game more, though. It's good for them.

How can a coach have any influence over a player that's making over five times more than he is?

As a coach, when it comes to football players, we're trying to change their behavior and make them better. As people, we're trying to change their behavior and make them better.

Players are saying, 'I don't have to have a coach who has only played a little bit. Instead, I can have somebody who won something'.

I can't tell you why a particular athlete would leave a certain coach, but I can tell you there could be many reasons. They could have personality conflicts. They could have misunderstandings. Lots of stuff can happen.

The challenge coaches face is replacing players they were counting on to be major pieces of a puzzle. In a lot of cases, there is just no way to make the necessary adjustments.

If the players don't trust the coach, it is a problem, and vice versa.
