If you can be positive sending someone out the door, sure. Then stay positive. Sometimes you have to look someone in the eye and say ‘sorry it just didn’t work out’. I really hope McDermott has that conversation with Benjamin first thing tomorrow morning.

McDermott always preaches how we need to play “complimentary football” and I agree...whether you are training your dog, teaching your kid how to catch a baseball, eating your wife’s “new recipe” dinner or building a football team, it’s 100 times better to compliment others than to yell at them or criticize them. 

 

Did you ever see McDermott on the sideline during a game or even at training camp? He’s always complimenting the players, clapping at them, saying “nice job” or “well done Nate/Josh/etc”. 

 

The old expression “You can catch a mouse with honey and not vinegar” rings true. If coaches compliment players, then players will compliment each other...it’s creates a positive environment. There’s no place for derogatory remarks in the NFL. Those coaches who are hard-***** rarely do well. 

 

Complimentary football all is superior to derogatory/critical football. Just my opinion. 

This.

Complimentary breakfast is better

You don't even really have to have stayed there. Just blend on it and it's free bagels for everyone.

 

As far as complimentary football, it refers to players reading and reacting to the actions of one another in order to make plays. It's the type of nonsensical coach speak McDermott is famous for. But I like the OP's idea of the term better.

Couple mini bagels and all you can eat sausage links with baby coffee cups.

I prefer a player's coach myself personally, would take a Pete Carroll over John Harbaugh.. but the styles clearly can succeed equally. You just need to be a good coach at the end of the day, leadership is genuinely being yourself with a psycopathic passion for winning. Players respond to someone who wears his emotions on his sleeve, don't put on an act, and uh.. are smart X's and O's guys

But you have to admit, complimentary football helps a player feel better about themselves which, in the long run, helps the team. There should be more compliments on the football field.

I couldn't tell if the OP was serious or not. But , yours is a great post. You should keep trying harder

So....... 

 

Am I complementary or derogatory?

 

Asking for a friend 

Tbh, I have no idea what complementary football means. Is this another fad word like "optics" , "sideways" ?

How does Roger Staubach complement you?

 

Duane Thomas: when I run for a lot of yards he says “good going”
