Everyone to be self reliant. Coaches and players. He probably believes that players make themselves into NFL players... They are not compelled. He wants to be a shepherd not a taskmaster with a whip. He figures guys in the program are gonna do their job faithfully. He figures players are gonna a recruit byu. He figured Howell knew what he was doing.
Think about college football players... They're either entitled immature kids or dumb jocks. They need a little more taskmaster, less shepherd. Think about the great coaches... Urban, Saban, heck.. Even look at kw... Much more taskmaster with a whip than Shepherd walking in in the front hoping they follow.
It's disappointing. Bronco may actually be better in the pros where motivation is money and the players are more mature.
