Quote:For every Pete Carroll, theres like 7-8 examples of Wade Phillip types that show it doesn't work as more examples pile up. Conversely, I've pointed out many of the most successful NFL coaches of the last 30 years that were all of similar type as Bill O Brien displayed in his presser. They don't accept losing. 

 

Dungy and Carroll are needles in a haystack. 

 

....and Dungy's teams should have won MORE titles anyway, so not even sure he's a good example. 

Great coaches generally are needles in a haystack, whether they throw post game tantrums or not.

 

I don't recall Bill Walsh, Tom Landry, Don Shula or Belichick being commonplace.  I don't recall them throwing post game press conference tantrums, either.

 

I get that great coaches change the mindset of the teams and convey the message that losing is not acceptable.

 

I just don't see how you can say blowing a gasket in front of cameras is somehow more effective than blowing a gasket in front of the player away from the cameras.
