Knott: Power keeps college coaches in the dark

None of this should come as a surprise, what with coaches serving as dictators in a politically correct society that grows ever softer.

It is doubtful Bear Bryant would survive in today’s environment. Sticking a player in a closet and ordering him to stand for three hours under the watchful eye of a guard would be the least of his problems.

If true, Leach will be shown the door.

It is a weird directive, its purpose unknown.

It is not a mechanism intended to build a program into a national powerhouse.

If it were, all kinds of coaches would employ the stick-a-player-in-a-closet ploy.

You almost have to be a college coach to come up with something this adolescent.
