re: 3rd and Chavis - How does Les deal with it?

quote:

---

Les is conservative? How did he get the reputation as the "mad hatter"?

---

a horrible reputation

our gameplans and playcalls are conservative the vast majority of the time

we sprinkle in a trick play here or there which are just well-calculated (and may not be les's anyway)

and then people see him going for 4th downs against UF and jizz themselves, but we HAD to go for those

He's a gambler

no. he's not

when has he "gambled"

?

quote:

---

going for it on fourth down

---

against UF? you mean when we were down and there wasn't any time left? he had to go for it on 4th

quote:

---

lots of special teams trickery,

---

4-5 fakes, which les may or may not have called (he definitely didn't call the one against ASU. that was jackson)?

quote:

---

the pass at the end of the Auburn game in 2007

which was followed by him not going for 2

he also hires conservative coaches. bo p was a "rush 4 and drop 7" guy. chavis is also. crowton isn't aggressive (very horizontal offense which has been made even more conservative with all the i-form up the guy shite we run)

look at our general gameplan. very conservative. lots of rushing up the middle out of the i. horizontal passing. our D doesn't blitz much anymore and we play soft zone coverage.
