re: JJ is a mediocre coach

"JJ is a mediocre coach"

go get Trent Johnson then lol. He is an excellent coach.

But seriously, people who say this about JJ without knowing him personally or knowing his players personally really can't gauge this.

Some coaches' strength isn't recruiting or x's and o's.
Its called player development, and these coaches do a good job of getting their players to respect the game by becoming a life-long learnesr of it, another- they sell the players on the fact that they need to practice the nuances of the craft more than anyone you plan to ever defeat.

If you have a team that is not the most physically most gifted team in the nation, nor the most talented, then how could they expect to win?

Practice hard?
No, all the great programs have great coaches who work the hell out of their players, pretty much to their physical limits.

The answer is simple. got to out-work em. You have to develop outside of practice too. Keeping the mind and body right, practicing the fundamentals religiously (to the extent that you dont seem sane)

Im hoping Trent has a vision and can really develop our complimentary players who will be here for several years like Tim Quarterman
