As stated, Randy Couture and Chuck Liddell were not major players when it came to coaching on the original season of The Ultimate Fighter. TUF 11, however, opened a window into Liddell's coaching methods.

His coaching method, though, was to sit back and provide support for The Pit's head coach, John Hackleman, who handled most of the training, strategizing, conditioning, motivating and, well, coaching. Liddell was used strictly in a support role. 

That isn't necessarily a bad thing. Hackleman has trained some great fighters over the years, and not relying on him likely would have been a disservice to his fighters. Liddell, however, seemed to be only a token figure in the gym and not at all integral to the development of his team. Still, he was an advocate for his apprentices, and his presence was essentially controversy free.
