[Husker] Coaching 'the Kids' Severely

[Douglas W. Martin]

Ditto.
 
"Killer" Kane could be heard across the field (or court) easily even if the crowd was noisy.
 
My high school coach, Fred Applegate, was exactly the same way.  Tiny Class C Louisville did quite well during his tenure even though often we could only field 25 players to play 11 man football.  
 
Fred and Jim shared a few cool one's quite commonly and were borne out of the same mold.

There is nothing wrong with an "in your face" style of coaching.  IMO, these
kids are spoiled versus the way many of us were brought up.  I played under
Jim Kane at Mt. Michael HS, and he was all over us players.  He made us work
hard, and it showed on Fridays.  I believe that the lack of inspiration some
of these kids have shown over the past year or two directly corresponds with
the coddling they have received in the past.  They probably didn't respond
to the "new" style because they were expecting something for nothing.
Remember when Jason Peter came to the locker room a couple of years ago and
he was all over the players?  Some of the players didn't like that and
preferred to listen to their headphones than get pumped up for the game.
New recruits should respond better than the older players, because they
don't know any other style.
