What you posted has merit but that isn't why people bash him for "Tuff N' Fyzicul". They bash him using that tagline because of his maddening propensity to slow everything down to a crawl therefore allowing less talented teams to stay within striking range thus allowing for a practically infinite number of slapstick type endings to games. These are made possible because of his penchant for bone headed coaching decisions including but not limited to botched clock management, his bizarre use/misuse of timeouts and little details like forgetting to or not wanting to take a knee to close out a sure win.This is one of the more bizarre Mario narratives to me that is spread incessantly. He's got his knocks and things to hate on, but trying to make the team tough and physical? Yea, a little better than having a team huddled around the heaters with sleeves on anytime the temp drops below 50 degrees.
Not saying this to bash him gratuitously, but to point out that "Tuff N' Fyzicul " is something he has 100% earned on his own.
