No. Why are you asking this question? The Head Football Coach has told us that the best players are not on the field.

In his press conference after the Ole Miss loss he said that they are trying to find a balance between scheme and personnel. That’s what that means.

Some of his best talent does not know all of the schemes, so he is simplifying his schemes to get that talent on the field, then smart OCs like Kiffen are annihilating the simplified schemes, and so he switches back to the more complex schemes, in which our less talented players have to play. Then they miss tackles and such. And so it goes.

If you think you can figure this out, think again. The coaches know 50 times what you know, they are thinking about it 10 times as much, and they are 5 times as motivated to solve the problem. Let’s see what they come up with.

Poor tackling technique in the 5th game of the season is a coaching problem when it is this systemic.

We have a motivation and technique problem, both of those are on the coaches.

Hopefully, we figure it out but certainly it is easy to see everyone's frustration with the outcome on defense. Head coach should have went all in on the offense at the end of the game KNOWING that the defense could not stop OM.
