You can still be tough, but you cannot be the result of 25% of the league cases from players. I agree you have to utilize the compliment sandwich and being more encouraging, but Coughlin was too over the top and it was time for the parting of the ways...Coughlin was given a chance and abused some of his power instead of understanding things are done differently and you have to evolve or this is the result.
One way of putting it I saw way, Coughlin was very tough on players following his rules, but not so good at following the rules controlling what HE did.
You can't fine players who get medical work done off the team-site in the off-season. But he did anyway.
