I'm sure pretty much everyone who has ever played sports has gotten stuck with at least one coach who was a complete jackass. A coach that just rode the whole team into the ground because he was on some kind of power trip.
It gets to the point where, as a player, you don't even care about how well or how poorly you play. All you want to do is kick the coach where the sun don't shine when he lets his guard down for half-a-second.
Now, as someone who played sports at a variety of levels, including college, I have what you'd call a sixth-sense for spotting jackass coaches. Like this video here of Tony Sparano, head coach of the Miami Dolphins. It took me approximately 5 seconds to determine that not only is he an absolute power hungry, insufferable idiot, but also that the Dolphins won't win 3 games this year.
Why? Because they suck AND they already hate their coach. Nothing like telling your #1 draft pick - who'll be protecting the punching bag you put at quarterback - that all he learned at Michigan was the fight song. Can't wait to play for you now, coach!
I'm not sure what the hell Sparano spent last year doing, but it obviously wasn't watching Tom Coughlin become a player's coach and win a Super Bowl in the process.
So, after this video, how long do I give Sparano at the helm of the Dolphins? Less than a year. Only to be replaced by an even bigger jackass - Bill Parcells.
Enjoy the season, Dolphins.

Chances are if you record endless film of a successful football coach, you're going to find a few minutes of them being a dick. Pretty much comes with the territory.
