I disagree. Emotion may work occasionally on a play or 2, but you can't win consistently on emotion. Instead of getting in his player's faces, he should teach them. If they don't get it, put in someone who does.
Exactly. The thing about the fiery approach is that it's best used in moderation. The reason it's so effective is because it's supposed to be used in dire situations. If Payton was that way all the time, players would stop reacting with urgency. Why do you think all Bill Parcells, Mike Keenan (NHL), etc teams quit eventually? Because it's too overbearing all the time. Why do you think the Giants turned it around after Coughlin decided to change his approach?
It's all about adjusting to the situation, not picking one tempo and going with it the entire time.
