2) When JG spent minutes with his head down cussing and obviously frustrated I did not see any talk from GG towards JG. A big difference between an amateur coach and elite is knowing when to press a players buttons and back off. I see a complete black and white X and O style from GG that is not tailored to spark individuals.

3) The call out in the media with 0 lack of accountability for himself. News flash... it wasn't one bad game. They have put a number of them together and can't score. This is just as much on the coach as it is the players.
Great points. I agree with all of this. His "Calling out the players in the media" last night rang hollow. The day before he says "I don't speak to my players after the game" to "My players are pathetic and it's all their fault, not mine". Learn some accountability Glue Gun.
