re: I wanted boards opinion on execution of an offense

Coaches to call right play and put players in advantageous situation, players to execute the play called.

Coaches or players ?

Who's burden fall on more?
I'm saying the playeRs are ultimately responsible

It’s both.


Yes ultimately the players have to execute the plays and once the play is called, the coaches have no control over what happens.

But... if the Players perfectly execute a bad schem/plan, it is still a bad scheme/plan and will likely result in a loss.




But I get it.... blame the players for Ed’s failure.


Edit: if team a is less talented than team b, a good coach can scheme around the talent deficit and find a way to win. Yes the players have to execute but good coaching can many times overcome less talent.

And bad coaching can help a team lose to less talent teams...cough....Troy...cough

It depends on the coach's track record.

If a coach has a long history of prolific offenses then I put it on the players. The thing is, that coach will usually find the players the fit his system, so he doesn't usually have issues with execution.

If a OC has spotty, isolated successes, then I'd say it's the coach that doesn't know how to get the best out of his offenses unless he has exceptional talent.

It's not an accident that some coaches have prolific offenses regardless of the strength of their recruiting classes.

I agree with your statement to an extent but last year and the year before we had opportunities to hit big plays against Alabama and didn't execute the plays,hence, Danny Etling missing chark for touchdowns had he thrown the balls properly and would have changed the whole complexion/ perception and possibly outcome of the game. The year before against Bama fournette missed two plays that were blocked well and had cutback lane for touchdowns. Guice, two years ago against Florida fumbles on 2 yard line and then runs the wrong way on the 1 yard line costing us td and win, these are all examples of lack of player execution that changes the outcome/complexion/perception/dynamics of the game. On the flip side, the loss to Troy is definitely a coach problem and the loss to Mississippi State when they are not as talented as you is definitely a coach problem and lack of proper preparation, so it falls on both coaches and players.

Why do players get benched?

Because the Coach makes a decision that the team's chances of winning are better with a replacement for said player instead of said player.

If this were a game and all players had identical attributes (75 Speed, 80 Power, etc.) then the coaches decision regarding what player to play, or really anything at all, would not matter.

If the coach is playing a player that is less effective than another player on the same team, that is a COACHING mistake, since personnel moves are coaching decisions. If the coach is playing the most effective player and the offense still does not work because the player and his backups are not of a high enough caliber, that is a COACHING mistake due to poor recruiting.

Coaches have full control over the roster, the lineup, and the scheme. If you have shitty players, that is on the coach. If you have better players but are playing shitty ones, that is on the coach. If you have players that would be ok in a different scheme but are shitty in this one, that is on the coach.

What exactly do you think the purpose of a coach is?

What if the coach doesn't know what system he's running and sets his players up for failure??

using this logic no coach is ever at fault for anything in a football game.

that's the answer he's going for. O can do no wrong in the eyes of pg. it's quite comical. We know he has no friends so he's lying about the friend being a football coach.

Then you have problems.

However this isn't chicot county little league football.
It's LSU and the sec with coaches getting paid more in a year than you'll ever make in your lifetime.

Look I understand if I say it's left your automatically gonna say it's right. But do yourself a favor and the board a favor and try not to be so arrogant.
It's makes you look like a fool.
