When does coaching go too far?

Former NFL linebacker and mutliple time All-Pro Seth Joyner, who now coaches a youth football team in Arizona made up of 12-year-olds, has come under fire for possibly being a bit too passionate with his players. TMZ has video of Joyner speaking loudly to his players during a game, while even dropping an "f bomb."

It appears Joyner was upset with his team's effort and lambasted them in front of everyone. By the way, this is apparently not an isolated incident. TMZ claims a former coach who worked with Joyner said, "the kids are terrified of him. He routinely berates them. The guy is terrible."

Joyner reported gave a different take to TMZ, saying he views himself as passionate and he just wants to get the best out of his players. However, he does admit that he lets his emotions get the better of him from time to time.
