Excellent article in the CJ today on the maturation of linebacker Brandon Heath. Not to beat a dead horse, but the story is as much about Coach Strong as it is about Heath.
We fretted for so long here at Cardinal Laws over the dichotomy between "player's coach" and "disciplinarian". The choice we had to make between Asshole and Pushover; good guy or good football. Petrino's way versus Kragthorpe's.
But Coach Strong is showing us a third way, one characterized by instilling self-respect and the drive to maximize one's potential. It feels as if the players don't fear Strong as much as they fear not living up to his expectations of them.
It feels like something special is happening to this program.
