Paul Johnson on Coaching

Georgia Tech football coach Paul Johnson delivers a classic line on coaching:

Where coaches make big mistakes is in wanting their people to like them. But I’ve never worried about that. I’m going to be me. If they like me, fine. If they wouldn’t piss on me if I was on fire, fine. But they’re going to respect me. And that’s the one thing. If you operate that way, you usually get both eventually.
