John Gagliardi was a very decorated coach at St. Johns college in Minnesota. John is also the most winning coach ever in the NCAA with 484 wins. To coach this long and have the amount of success John had, is unbelievable. The amount of effort and time he put into his job is what made him accomplish so much. His style of coaching was unique and he found his own way to win games. Not tackling in practice, not using profane language were one of his techniques in coaching. John demanded a level of respect for his players, and in return John would respect them. St. John’s practices were always a fun time, as well as serious. John was able to find a good balance to keep his teams winning.
Coaching philosophies differ all over the world, from one sport to another. They are the central foundation to any good coach’s success in his/her respected programs. A coach’s philosophy does not only guide and lead the other members of the staff in the right direction, but it also allows each athlete to know what is expected of them, and how they should behave. By being aware of a coach’s philosophy, the athlete is fully responsible for his/her actions both on and off the field of play. In the words of the great Nick Saban, "It 's about what you control, every minute of every day. You always have to have a winning attitude and discipline, in practices, weight training, conditioning, in the classroom, in everything. It 's a process."
I feel that Tony Dungy was a more effective leader. He took the time to develop his players and instilled leadership qualities in all of them. Dungy had ha very successful career and in later year was extremely involved in giving back to the community. References

With the right influence, communication and skill development is the key to a valuable coach. Without my two outstanding high school coaches, I wouldn’t have the love for basketball and track the way I do today. They have taught me everything I needed to know for the present, along with tips for the future. Coach Lewis and Coach Kohler have done more for me than what I’ve ever deserved and I will never be able to pay them back for all their help and encouragement. But I hope they have understanding of how much of a change they can make on someone's life, someone's life like my
Joe Ehrmann describes how he has developed his philosophy of coaching by relating the story of his life in his youth, high school and in college describing two different types of coaches he had played for. The first are coaches who were impersonal, authoritarian, and sometimes abusive which he calls transactional coaches; this is in contrast to the humane coaches he calls transformative coaches. Coaches must face this responsibility because we all remember our coaches. “This is the awesome power and responsibility of coaching: You give your players memories, for better or for worse that stay with them until the day they die” (Ehrmann, 2011 p 46-47). Joe Erhmann goes on to ask, “What is the moral and ethical composition of their program?
879 wins in 36yrs of coaching, 2nd most in men's college Division I basketball history behind Bob Knight.
The Flour Bluff varsity coach is like no one I have ever met before; to say he is not the typical coach would be
In conclusion, I want to make my opinion about John’s pyramid of patience. I personally have a lot of patience in life. I was injured in Iraq and had to learn not to be angry about the aspect of being injured for the rest of my life. The top of his pyramid is faith and patience. Consequently, it is not easy to acquire those traits. I believe that is why we need more coaches like John
So many Coaches have talent and dedication for what they do. I 'm proud to play for one that has a spectacular history of coaching. That coach is Dennis Lorio, who Graduated from LSU (Louisiana State University) with an economic degree and played baseball. “I love the intensity and the relationship in football” Coach Lorio explaining with a passionate expression. I can see it in his eyes that he is very dedicated and hardworking coach. As of now he is 62 years old and still willing to coach. “It’s not the same without coaching. The joy and the sorrow I feel during the season has been addicted to me. I’ve been in this game almost all my life and that is a very long time.”
The University of Illinois announced former Chicago Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Lovie Smith as head football coach Monday, making Smith the first African American head coach in the program’s history.
Some Say that Mark Dantonio is the best coach out there and has some very comeback like quotes like this one “I’m very proud of our football team,and I’m very proud of the way our football team handled themselves after the game as well. You don’t have to disrespect people. If they want to make a mockery of it,so be it. Their time will come. (247sports,2017).”
To be a college coach you have to be very dedicated and love the sport you are coaching. Being a college coach is very time consuming and a very hard job to land in the sports world. The competition that one faces when trying to get into the job field is fierce. This means that the job as a coach in the collegiate athletic career field is limited to a small percentage of the people that end up applying. These people need to be able to fulfill a variety of duties for their universities, and because of this it is important that anyone who is thinking of applying knows the difficulty that comes with the job (Greenwald, 2010).
T.J. furthers about Coach Benson, “I’ve seen him blow up on the football field a couple of times, and he can be scary” (210). With this rage, Crutcher sets up Benson as the coaching equivalent to Mike Barbour. Similarly, Crutcher writes, “Benson displays a lot of power around here” (190), giving Benson a dominating presence just like Barbour has. These similarities, combined with Benson’s coaching style, displays antagonism in sports culture from the level of a coach.
Soon, however, it became apparent that Lombardi was no average coach. His intensity, his undeniably scorching hot passion for football made him an immediate success. Soon he was the head coach of St. Cecilia High School, leading it to success for the first time in its history.
For the coaching observation project I observed the head coach of the Ohio State Buckeyes, Urban Meyer. I watched him on TV when Ohio State played Penn State. The reason I selected Urban Meyer to do my coaching observation is because he is the coach I decided to model my coaching philosophy after. The reason I chose this game specifically is because this is a very important game and I want to see how he handles his team in high-pressure situations.
