But yeah, if you take Patriots Way bullshit and then put it in the hands of some half-cocked psychopath like Todd Haley....well we saw how it worked out.
I do think that sort of approach - hyperaccountability and details over everything - can work. But man, you've gotta build it from the ground up to avoid these sorts of culture shocks. And you're walking a really really thin line.
Because Carr's reaction is 100% predictable and it won't be just him that responds that way. At some point I think you need some way to salvage that kind of situation.

You just burn people out and they tune you out. I coached my oldest 3rd year old football team this year and it's clear even at that level. Coaching just isn't a one size fits all thing. Some guys need motivated, some guys need coddled, etc.
The biggest part of coaching is figuring out who's who and when to push the throttle, or pull the reigns back a bit.
