As I understood it anyway, the tension was more on the offensive side. But you'd have to ask HTTR247 for his own perspective

ahh ... thanks. Maybe I am either (1) remembering it wrong; or (2) something got lost in the translation.

I imagine that, when dealing with talented subordinates, the difference between "I know what I am supposed to be doing - just do what I say" and "Tell me how can we improve?" is a fine line for a coach to walk, like in any management position - but even more so in the hyper-competitive, testosterone driven arena that is pro-football.
