Do they think he's not the guy anymore?

Yes

Are you assuming they were "playing for the coach" to begin with?

Why would you say this?

Pretty obvious

No, they don't play for him.

I'm not sure that really happens at this level. It's not like he's pulling a Paterno or Coach Kilmer here.
But I do believe that the coach can drive the emotions of a team or player. There are times when you need to yell at a player. Times when you need to get animated in the dugout. Times when you need to raise a little hell on the field. We've all heard the lines Skip would give his pitchers. We all remember seeing his head bobbing about during a team huddle. And I'm positive that Skip got kicked out of a game on purpose just to motivate his players.
I think CPM just lacks that particular quality, and it is most sorely missed during the postseason when it is most important. I would've come out of the dugout looking like George Brett after that bullshite hidden ball call during the UCI game, but that's not Coach Paul "Small Ball" Maineri's style. Maybe that lackluster approach has infected the players, and that just doesn't work in today's game.

his pitchers are fricked up in the head. they probably haven't given up on PM tho; Dunn if anyone
a lot of these guys will be drafted this year. they are not going to "give up" on anyone.

Has CPM quit on his team?

I thought that the players rallied around him last year when Texas was courting him and word leaked that he could leave for the 'Horns. According to several articles, players went to him and told them they wanted him to be their coach.
They aren't quitting. They may be discouraged at their play. If they quit that would say more about them than about PM. We weren't in any better shape at this point last season.
