It's genetically encoded into the MSU Football DNA to be tough, physical and RUN THE FOOTBALL. Coaches who've understood that have been successful (Bellard, Sherrill, Mullen) and those who haven't have tanked (Croom, Moorhead). Someone mentioned this earlier before the season (maybe a former player?) that they were concerned about not practicing at South Farm and the lack of toughness at practices. I think we are now seeing that mentality from our team.

I don't want a "player's coach"...I want a FOOTBALL coach. Saban's players know he's gonna be tough as hell on them, but they respect that and play hard or sit.
