This is actually pretty good, if a bit belabored.
No. That's a manufactured "I'm smart because I can say things other people can't" article. "Next Man Up" basically means that the fill in is expected to provide the same production as the person they are replacing. Dan Bernstein can say "Next Man Provide 50% Of The Production As The First Person Did" but coaches can't. They have to attempt to minimize the damage done by losing a player. It is a coaches job to set high standards. Secretly, they know that the replacement won't provide the same level of production. They just can't say it.
Unless of course his point is that what coaches say don't really matter. If that is the case, well, POPOVICH!
Managers/coaches not mattering really only applies to baseball ... and even that's a far more tenuous supposition than some would like to purport.
Also, it's "coach's", you dolt .... you're the last person I would have guessed would trip over the possessive case ...
