Thank god, maybe Fighting Tigers will let you make a comment... but don't get your hopes up. You didn't coach at a professional club for no less than 12 years with a winning record above .800 and a overall score deferential of at least 20 points versus opponents all-time...

What's so terrible about criticizing a coach? Every day, people who do not act justify if a movie is decent or not and if an actor is Oscar-worthy. I go into a restaurant like Copeland's and the food's not good? I vent and never go back.

Like it or not, this is the world we live in and people unfairly judge others every day. Or is it fair? Wht's wrong about giving disapproval to coaches who warrant it?


Yes, I get it, like it or not we live in a world where people are cool with doing the selfish Terrell Owens crap. It's all about me me me.

Movie studio does not make me happy, me complain. Movie star does not make me happy, me complain. Restaurant does not make me happy, me complain. Cook doesn't make me happy, me complain. Waiter doesn't make me happy, me complain.

But for all you know, those guys are doing the best job possible, and you just can't see it... because you have no idea what it is like to do those jobs.

Have you ever been a football coach?

Brian, dude, it's really getting sad about how much I have you rattled and sad.

Honestly - I had forgotten I even coached the team for two games! I was like, 14 or 15, and my dad was a coach for the team my 10, 11 year old brother was on, and apparently he was sick for a couple games and I coached. We must have lost, because I apparently blocked the memory out for 10 years till my brother reminded me of it.

What in my post was not correct? We rarely run stunts.


How many fifty yard td's or Tebow first downs up the gut would it take before you would lament the stunts we would hypotheticly run? I think keeping a guy like Tebow in the pocket by containing him is a fine strategy when you don't break down in every other position all game long. Look, the guys aren't comepletely comfortable with whatever we are doing. It's obvious. They need to know exactly what to do, where to be, and how to do it. They don't yet. Yes, that is LM's problem but it doesn't mean it can't or won't happen before the year is out. They need to be able to stop thinking and let their own speed come into play and just get after it. That did not happen against UF and it killed us. Timid footing and decisions plagued us all night. I don't like it, but just "running more stunts" isn't going to solve any of that.

I see no situation in which allowing Tebow all the time he needs to throw is ever a good idea. All season our front four has not been giving much pressure, so a blitz scheme seems fairly obvious. With 2-4 WRs running around someone is bound to get free and Tebow is talented enough to give that man a nice pass to right where it is called for. Disrupting Tebow was prove effective, so why not make Tebow earn it on the ground when he hadn't been doing it very well all season.

I can't carry on this discussion with you when I get that kind of response. I appeal to your logic, and you offer none. You revert to the same scheme of "If you've never been a coach then STFU." Post after post, you continue to offer the exact same quips, and we are not progressing.

What does this remind me of?


Oh yea... Mallory and Peveto.


That is the point. If you have zero experience as a football coach, then you are a fool for thinking you know more than they do. What don't you get about this?

BUT... where you an NCAA coach in a top teir BCS conference with a winning record above .700? If not FT doesn't care what you have to say.

It's easy to hide the problems when you play shitty competition to start the season like last year. We didn't face a decent offense until UF last year as well, and they only scored 24 because they shot themselves in the foot.


Yes, I'd love to see you debate line stunts with our coaching staff. Trust me, if you sat down with our coaches, and they listened to all your concerns, all your silly ideas -- they would explain to you why they have done what they have done -- and you will get it.

For you to think that you know more about football than our coaching staff, for you to think that you could sit down with them and tell them why what they are doing is wrong and why you know what they really should be doing, makes you look like an idiot.

I didn't say that. Ya think maybe we thought we had the advantage in mostly one on one OL vs DL match ups and maybe we should be able to get to Tebow against that young beat up OL? I thought so. Most of the rant thought so before saturday.

FT...it comes with the territory. To coach any sport, you have to be ready for anything.

How do you think Mallveto's co-children deal with teasing at school? Easy...they fight back instead of the passive-agressive Columbine shite.

This is the kind of stupid stuff I hate listening to. Do you really think our coaches sat around and said, "hey, let's give Tebow all the time he needs to throw. Good idea, let's do that." Get real. Do you really think our coaches are really that freaking stupid? And beyond that, do you think that you, as somebody who has no experience coaching football, knows anything about football when it comes to guys that were able to move their way up into the NCAA level of football coaching? Get real.

Alright, PiecesTiger has coached football before. What level did you coach? How good were your teams? Why weren't you good enough to become an NCAA football coach?
