Anybody else think this guy has created some serious locker room issues for himself?  I used to criticize TOS for doing this in a much, much less direct and offensive way and I didn't see it helping him any.

The only out of line thing he did, in my opinion, was call out a specific player.

It's a tame version of what Danny Nee used to do in the locker room. Good luck with the rest of the year, coach.

He was on Gottlieb's radio show the following day talking about the parts of that rant that he totally wishes didn't happen, and which parts he stood by. But the thing is he owned it, and that was impressive. He also talked about who he had already apologized to for the rant.

I heard on the radio that one of his players tweeted after the rant and referred to the coach as "the little man".  Me thinks there were already some problems in that locker room before the rant happened.

I'm guessing he's already told his players a lot of what he said in the press conference.

My favorite part of the whole thing was at the end when he said he swore one his players said "Merry Christmas" to the other team after turning the ball over. LOL.
