Is "calm" always better?

Everyone enjoys a good view of someone losing their sh!t on occasion. But can it be a healthy thing?

Had a random thought last night, that I'm not sure it's good for someone to be calm and collected 100% of the time. I'm not saying they need to be Lewis Black, but a little fire can be a good thing.

This season, I saw Snyder go about as ballistic as I've seen him go, but can't remember the exact game or situation. I just remember him working over an official on the sideline, and working him over well.

That's the kind of fire I like seeing in a coach in his mid 70's, who preaches consistency, accountability, etc... It's good to see him "lose it" as much as he can physically lose it on occasion, because it lets you know he's still entirely invested.

Imagine watching the sideline and never even seeing a facial reaction for the entire game. I get wanting to be collected and professional, but I love seeing the passion for the game. Not to the point that some buffoons take it, but Ben Stein in the sideline isn't inspiring anyone.

I get that his plan is to "calm the waters" but I love that he lets it fly on occasion and shows he's completely invested in the game now as much as ever.
