re: Coach O says Ensminger slept in his office last night working on gameplan for the weekend

I thought Ensminger did that frequently.
It's mid week and he's working on the game plan? I hope it was just tweaking an already well thought out plan for the game.

Sometimes it seems like it's "fly by the seat of your pants" in the Football Ops building (or their temporary quarters during renovation).

Sammy, I’m reading thru this whole thread and I don’t see a link. This thread is for real?

Saban sysingntou need to execute?

I have No idea but I dont Doubt it.

Has a coach alive ever said you don’t need to execute?

Run Run Pass! Run Run Pass! Say it with me!

Sleeping in the office.....I hope he found something in their defense to exploit and that we can actually see his gameplan unfold with the way the game is called.

I thought his gameplan and play-calls for A&M in 2016 was fantastic. Want to see the gameplan show up in execution though.

^ this. I take it only as a positive. Doesn't necessarily mean he's not prepared or anything else like that. I mean it COULD mean that.. or it means he's just really trying to give his best and come up with some things that the team can do to have success at Auburn on Saturday. Either way, I'll withhold judgement until after the game.

I mean it's kind of weak to put it out there though.

Saban and Kirby aren't out there putting out there how many late nights they put in at the office, but does anyone doubt that they do? If you're working hard you're working hard. You don't need to inform everyone that you're working hard. Just let the results on the field speak for themselves.

O's the type that wants to let you know how hard he and his staff are working, probably to gain a favorable perception as is his M.O., whereas others work just as hard or harder and never mention it.

Maybe IF he had actually been an OC over the past 20 years, he would have actual experience gameplanning and wouldn’t have to cram like a college freshman who has a test coming up and didn’t go to class.

good post

Why doesn't he just call plays from the secret playbook and go home at the end of the day? After all, we were holding back our offense on purpose....
