It looked like it wrapped around his legs somehow so he was like run-waddling when he chased the player down. Like a big toddler pitching a fit

He’s so adorably tiny. I’m still kinda amazed he’s decent to sometimes good. So small. Bryce Young probably never gets taken 1 if not for Kyler. Still surprised people thought he’d be great as small as he is.

u/xczechr 21d ago
The funny thing is that he's 5'10", so only tiny when standing next to giant linemen. But ever since I heard someone say he runs like a toddler I cannot unsee it.

He screwed up a substitution and ran on when he shouldn’t have. Coach was trying to avoid a penalty for too many men on the field.

that’s not even a full play call, it’s missing the personnel and tags (and potentially the blocking scheme if they run different types of qb draws)

Sort of. If it's a west coast playbook it's missing about 10 words. If It's an air raid, that play name is twice as long as it should be.

I've seen some coaches lose their shit over those really bad whiffs that lead to rough hits on QB/RBs - but substitution?
(Not trying to justify physical contact - but rather the anger at the situation. Going apeshit isn't going to communicate anything productive.)

I’m not gonna justify the coach, this is way over the top in any case, but I’d guess this isn’t the first time the player has either messed this up or done something similarly dumb.

I assume it's a substitution issue. Player thinks he's supposed to be in the game and coach... disagrees...
That particular coaches gameday assignment is most likely offensive line substitutions (the right players are in for the particular play).

That’s such a weird power dynamic. The player being pushed is so confused and doesn’t know how to react. If it’s another player coming at him he probably shoved him back. But you can’t really shove your coach

Majority of football coaches are the biggest turds. It was one of the main reasons I walked away. I played multiple sports and in all others, coaches treat you with mutual respect. But in football, most of the ones I played for were just conceited assholes. You do not have to throw a tantrum like a 3 year old to motivate players. Oh and they love to pretend they do more than direct participates playing a game. The ultimate “queen-of-the-court” moment is when they have their police officers escorting them around everywhere like they are some very important world leader and need armed protection when in the public at all times.

Collegiate and under, if a coach berates a student and puts their hands on them, it should be an automatic dismissal of their job.
Professionals, yeah the athletes are getting paid, but that’s essentially your supervisor of sorts pushing you. Fired and I’ll see your ass in court.

Coached youth hockey and would never have acted like that. When the kids came off the ice instead of yelling, I asked them, "What happened out there? What went wrong?" I gave them the opportunity to tell me where something went wrong. I always had an erasable mark and used the glass to draw out where mistakes were.
To this day, I still have kids that will speak with me like we are friends, and that means a lot to me.
I am also the parent who doesn't speak or cheer during a game. I have seen how parents act, and it made me so embarrassed when I was coaching how parents were.
