FAYETTEVILLE — There are lots of ways to coach or lead. There are some that push hard and leave carnage in their wake.
Get on board, or get off the ship. There can be nastiness involved.
I've seen it up close and personal. Bobby Petrino comes to mind. Don't call it tough love. In fact, don't put love anywhere in the equation.
Then, there was Wilson Matthews. No one was tougher or had saltier language.
But off the field, no one loved on players harder than Matthews, the Frank Broyles assistant famous for his winter conditioning programs and bloody tackling drills.
