The problem from my perspective is the attitude so clearly expressed in his comments, that it is not enough to complete the play, but to punish the ball carrier/receiver. When he says that a quarterback throwing an interception should either get off the field or get on the ground, he is saying he's not interested in doing what he can to enable his team to gain as much yardage as possible. He is going headhunting.
What he doesn't also understand is that, while football is a violent game, rewarding players for injuring another player is definitely uncalled for. Reward for good plays or good hits, but not for injuries. And that's what the bounty program was doing.
