Home town newspaper:
Buckeyes' Meyer: Former STA standout Bosa could be best DL ever coached
Click to expand...
His [Meyer's] response? Two bold sentences that further increase Bosa's national profile: “Could be as good a defensive linemen I've ever coached," Meyer said. "He can be as good as there is.”

As a freshman, Bosa made 44 tackles (29 unassisted), including 13.5 for loss, and had 7.5 sacks as well as six quarterback hurries. He also recovered a fumble.

'The biggest difference is Coach Johnson doesn't curse': Ohio State Buckeyes defensive linemen move on without Mike Vrabel

Folks may laugh... but my boys played a lot of sports.. and some of these families are very strict... you never hear a curse word and assuredly none is spoken in their households... they are appalled and offended when a coach uses it... My vulgarity only comes out at the watering holes with the homies... but when my boys would tell me what the coaches said on the field, in the locker rooms, on the buses... I am shocked but mortified when I think of what families X and Y will think when they hear... Never thought anything of coaches vulgarity when I played.. it was part of the normal vocab

Yeah surprisingly I have no problem with a coach that doesn't cuss. I just didn't realize that was a thing. You may have coaches that don't, but at least ine coach on every staff does.

i swear like a sailor but never on the field around my players. There's plenty if times that I want to tell them they look like monkeys fucking footballs, but I find a different way to say it.

It's a personal choice that I've made as a coach. That said , one of my kids who has as good of a chance at D1 scholie as any that play for me also plays with my son on a club team. His mom told me that their club coach, and the way he deals with them, has taken some of his fun and motivation from him. It kills me to hear that as I've coached the kid for five years and have a lot invested in him. He's a pretty mature kid who understands different coaching styles... Nonetheless, best youth lacrosse player I've been around as a coach, and some other coach is fucking up his experience kinda pisses me off.

Interestingly, my kid seems to be unedffected by it.

To be clear, I'm not so much defending verbal abuse of football players, tho I know some guys that respond to that sort of "motivation". I'm just saying I've had plenty of coaches that just liked to fuckin' swear. Like..."FUCKIN' A KYLE! THAT'S HOW YOU SNAP THE GODDAMNED FOOTBALL YOU SONOFABITCH!!!"

I totally get what you're saying, and I've played for coaches like that. Personally, I'm one who doesn't let it get to me. But I know that some kids do... and I respect that and frankly, their parents, enough to keep myself in check. Football fucking monkeys or not.

That said, my kid plays club ball because I _want_ him to play for coaches that aren't me because I know that my style is in the minority. He's progressed as a player immensely under this coach. How much of that is that he's not playing for Coach Dad or the other coach is better or whatever... I don't know.

But what I do know is that I've coached and developed three kids that play for the top club team in the state (at their age level), two of whom are on a national team and five others that are playing extremely high level club ball so I know that at a minimum I'm not fucking them up before these other coaches get their hands on them. LOL.
