That's not very enlightening.
The only thing you have explained is that when Larry rips the players it is bad but when Silas does it, it is good. And compared to Larry, what Silas is doing is worse because he's questioning a player's toughness. Larry on the other hand would mainly whine about what the team isn't doing right. Silas constantly calls out individual players. And he ain't smiling during his post game chats with the media.
It is not always what you say. Sometimes it is how you say it. The players felt that Brown was a boss. They consider Silas a leader. You might be surprised how much criticism a person will take if they feel like the critic really cares and has their best interest at heart. Larry was not very effective in that regard. Silas is a master.
