This! They wanted a splash hire and paying BK a fortune made it so. Well said!

Just like the Longhorns and Charlie Strong

I don't care how old you are. These are professional athletes. You are 100% open for criticism. They're millionaires

Yes, BK is an arse, but I don't fault a coach in 2025 to calling out players

I agree with you.

If a player is at fault, he must be "blamed". This isn't 1970.

Meh - just because we are dumb enough to pay 18-22 year olds a ton of money doesn't mean they are mature enough to shoulder public blame from the coaching staff. I get that won't stop fans from doing so, but a coach trying to motivate players might consider that there are better ways to manage their team.
