This popped up in a Football Coaching Forum that I visit. Almost universally the opinions there are that this is a coaching issue and it was pointed out that this town is where the deplorable TV Show "Friday Night Tykes" was filmed. There is a feeling at that other forum that there is a strong correlation between those two things. Regardless, this is seen as a problem that can be resolved via the Coaching Staff, and it's one that I agree with.

 

You want to fix employees? Then go after the ones who are in the best possible position to instigate change, i.e. the people in management. You want to fix players? Go after the coaches, the Athletic Directors, the Principals, etc. If you really want change, start penalizing the people who develop the undesired culture.
