re: Has any here ever coached a football team?

I have never built a bridge; I don't know how to built a bridge; and I could built a bridge by myself if my life depended on it. But if I look at a bridge, see bricks out of place and other structural defects - and then I witness that bridge fall beneath its own weight, then I can look at the bridge builder and say, "You F'ed up."

i have a legit question:

if our defensive coaching staff is infallible and above question, and we are to assume that they know we have problems, then why haven't there been any adjustments? a rational, non-coach observer knew our D had problems after AU and MSU

-did our coaches not realize that our D had problems?

or

-did our coaches just not care and fail to make any adjustments out of stubbornness?

But being our coaches have three-year record of top 5 Ds, and our starting D doesn't, I'm guessing it has more to do with our players than our coaches.

---

Go back and look at the stats from the past 3 seasons you speak of. The defensive stats have gotten progressively worse the past 3 season up until now. I'm not saying its the end of the world, but there is a problem that needs to be fixed.

Have you ever been a football coach in your life?

If not, then why in the hell do you think are knowledgeable enough about coaching to criticize our coaches?

I've never been the president of the United States. Let me guess, I can't critize anything he does either, right?

Wow. FightingTigers is a moron.

Oh wait, now the moron side of your brain is speaking:


quote:


Do I recognize several problems with the defense that have yet to change from week to week? Yes. Argue perceptions all you want, but our defense has had the same problems in the secondary all year. This weekend was the first time we were up against a decent offense, so for the few people who didn't notice it before, 51 points just exposed the hell out of it. I don't have to be a defensive guru to tell you that rushing 4 on every play was not the way to put pressure on Tebow, and that putting a linebacker on Percy Harvin should have never been conceived.




This is exactly the absolute retardness that I am talking about. Are you really this stupid to think that our coaches have never considered this? Either you are a freaking idiot or our coaches are freaking idiots.

Everything he said there was spot on. I don't know what the coaches have considered, but the problems haven't been fixed yet. I think that is obvious.

No but you should kill yourself FightingTigers.

not always

i mean i could see this argument with a CEO type like miles or mack brown, but miles WAS an NFL positional coach. that takes brains

your really good coordinators are prolly on the high side of 120 IQ

Nobody thinks Mack Brown is a genius. He is a great politician, recruiter, and hirer of good assistants. Brown never won a conference, much less national, title without the one-year wonder of Vince Young. As for Miles, he wasn't with the Dallas Cowboys very long, and didn't make much of an impression. Nobody much remembers him.
