As a optimistic pessimist I'll see your need for enforcer coach and raise you a "What if beneath Kellens "aw shux" demeanor is a demanding personality? We all put on a public mask...somethings tells me there's a complete opposite persona beneath what he gives off as an initial impression and both are true.

For example Payton's demeanor was very much a disciplinarian...but beneath it the players love that he wears Jordan's and seems engrossed in the culure, and he was very much a party animal, we found that out as the years passed. Not to mention the vicodin stuff, which shows an opposite side to the discipline persona

It's certainly possible he's a guy that demands perfection under that nice guy exterior. And different people do react differently to how they are managed. I know I'm one who will just ignore/refuse to do what someone yelling at me wants. But, I do think it would be nice to have that option for players who may not respond to other types of motivation. Maybe not essential, but nice to have as an option.

And, FWIW, I think the issue with DA was more that he failed to establish a personal relationship with the players on his team more than that they weren't held to the standards. DA has guys to do that, but I just got the impression that he kept to himself and didn't really connect one on one with his players. Moore has already talked about how important it is to be yourself and connect with your players.
