JJ's demeanor.

[Treadway21]

JJ can get on the kids, his coaches must demand more and we want and need them to play their best, but calling our WRs and others crappy is not the same. They suit up and play hard for SMU.

If skills are lacking, remember we recruited them to play, to be students and become future alums. Again, they are not pro's. As college fans, we need success, but trashing college students is not cool. Building character is one of the objectives of attending college and this is a teachable moment for everyone, especially the student-athletes.

There is a big difference in how we should express ourselves vs. a coach, who is inside and is teaching, coaching and leading. Developing young men (and women), who attend our university, is part of the mission. That is not true for the Dallas Cowboys.

I like Leach's energy but detest his profanity (and I am a Marine)

Patterson gets on his kids when they mess up. So did Bennett. So do many coaches. It bears no relation to tolerance of mediocrity. Different styles of coaching. I'm not saying JJ is right, but that point is pure nonsense.

Agreed....did Tom Landry or Tony Dungy go apeshit on players?

This topic is on JJ's demeanor so I made a comment about it. The way he treats his players is not the reason why we're in a hole. However, for JJ, it is symptomatic of his overall minimalist effort when it comes down to recruiting and his apparent stubbornness and inflexibility of understanding when he has to change plays/calls and have specific game strategies for each opponent.
