Discipline the missing ingredient

Disciple definition: follower or student of a teacher, leader, or philosopher.

Discipline definition: the practice of training people to obey rules or a code of behavior, using punishment to correct disobedience.

I don't want to get too philosophical with this but their are parallels between the head coach, the football program and these two definitions.  

Their truly is no discipline for the sake of feelings or fear that someone will be offended.  Since when did a leader ever consider that?  A true leader knows the mission, lays our the plan to achieve the goal and expects everyone that is on his team to follow said plans and do their job.  

I wonder if Saban or Urban would give two shits for someone feelings?  I wonder if Saban and Urban would accept excuses for the lack of execution?  I wonder if Saban or Urban would demand accountability if you failed to do your part of the job to complete the mission?

With 9 National Championships between them I would say that they are the epitome of what discipline is all about.  All of the men that have been fortunate enough to play under their leadership have been willing disciples and the rewards of the mission being completed is college football history and a championship ring.  

What am I missing here?

 
You just don't understand the nuances of Herman's strategy - kissing players and his "wokeness" marching downtown at BLM rallies. He really "connects" with his players. Playing by the rules and blocking & tackling are too old school. ?
