It's clear that UWF's Coach Shinnick is a players coach, they play as hard as they can for him, and have fun while doing it.
My Ole Bud down at UNC Pembroke said that when Coach Shinnick started up their Braves Football program, he quickly earned the respect of not only the players, but also their parents, and students. Coach Shinnick had a zero tolerance policy for the players skipping classes, failing a class (and yes, he checked all of the time), or even simple things like his players not opening doors for others on campus. This zero tolerance policy also included profanity being used by anyone on the team, including the full coaching staff. It became crystal clear for the players (including the most talented on the team) that breaking any rules meant they would be riding the pine for the next game or games. He helped make better men out of the young student athletes.
Not sure if Coach Shinnick is still running the ship like that at UWF, but if so, you can't help but pull for a coach that believes in values over playing time.
Best of luck with the National Championship game Coach Shinnick!
