-- [ From: Adam Wodon * EMC.Ver #2.10P ] --
 
I know I'll be on the Brown fan's hit list once again -- but I must
defend Mike about Gaudet.  His post was long and I won't go into detail,
but Mike needn't worry that he has only seen Brown once.  I've seen
them about 12 times under Gaudet, and his actions are sadly well within
character.
 
I say sadly, because general consensus is that Gaudet is a decent guy
and a good coach, but a jerk during games.  This comes from other
coaches and other anyone who watches a Brown game that isn't a Brown
fan.
 
Gaudet can usually be found, for a majority of the game, right in front
of his own bench, yapping at refs.  This starts about 2 minutes into
the game and doesn't end.  It's one thing to bait refs and look for an
edge, but personally, I think Gaudet makes a fool out of himself.  This
isn't isolated instances, it's every time I've seen him.
 
(I won't even get into the playing tactics he preaches)
 
I think, at times, what he does could be hurting his team -- not just
because some refs may backlash at him -- but because I think he too
often makes the referees the focus of his attention instead of his
team.
 
Flame away Brown people - but I don't care.
