I agree that a lot of the players have horrible mental toughness. If you're talking about getting abused by Bama because of poor mental toughness during pre-season workouts then I will agree with you. If you're saying that we got abused because of poor mental toughness during the game then I disagree. Anyone with half a heart can want it just as much as the next guy during a big game. Everyone wants it then, the difference is that some people want it all the time(every route in practice, listening, being coachable, not going out Wednesday night, etc.).
Obviously rivals isn't perfect or every 5 star would be taken in the 1st two rounds. I'm just saying that over the past 2 years, our athleticism as a team has deteriorated. I think a lot of the problem is personal with the players and not a problem with the program. However, these coaches, all of them, not just Moffitt, should be held responsible. If they get who they want, which they do, they should be able to make them perform up to their potential. They haven't been doing this. It's their job to prepare the players and that isn't being done. So even though I agree the actual lifting program is probably all right, the blame still eventually gets back to moffitt for not having his players inspired in the weight room, on the track, during plyo, and all of the other drills. A lot of this should also go on Miles for not controlling his players better.

I agree with some of that. However, if it was as simple as moffitt having to "inspire" them more in the offseason, then we wouldn't be having this conversation. The reason saban seems to be able to "inspire" his players, no matter where he is, is because he recruits those traits! Why could moffitt inspire the kids saban brought into his weightroom, but he can't seem to inspire miles kids? Did he forget how?
