Steve Mariucci: full-time coach, part-time psychologist.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)
Steve Mariucci doesn't spend his spare time drawing up plays in his office. The 49ers have plenty of plays.
He doesn't think about his two-minute offense when he's exercising or lying awake at night. What he thinks about most is what some might describe as the psychology of football.
Being a successful head coach in today's NFL isn't about strategy so much as it's about managing personalities and massaging egos. It's about knowing when to confront a player and when it's best to let things slide.
Most of all, it's about knowing what to say when 53 sets of ears are listening.
"That's what's constantly on a head coach's mind_what to say to the team next, when you say it and in what tone of voice," Mariucci said. "Those are the things you struggle with at night when you go to sleep because attitude and team chemistry are so important right now."
