Looks to me like he calls plays that are scripted against a generic opponent instead of having a plan against the team we’re actually playing. Must be that secret book that our coaches have.
I think we would all feel better if he had said:
Look guys, just have patience, this is going to take a while.
We’re going to recruit the metro area hard.
I brought in this staff because they’ve been with me a long time.
We’re going to make mistakes, but no one is going to outwork us.
And...
I can see the AD saying get rid of such and such if you want to keep your job. This is how much staff money you get to spend. Now bring me a list of candidates.
Get two older guys that really know the game. Maybe ex NFL. Let Collins and the younger guys do the rah rah stuff. Coordinators need to make adjustments as the game progresses, identify weaknesses, and come up with good game plans.
I’m just stating the obvious. Or would you rather me state, “Better get your season tickets now before they sell out.” You can either face the situation or deny it exists. We need another Homer Rice that will roll up his sleeves, take the problems head on, and get things done.
I think we should sign 25 every year and unless a transfer can start and be an all ACC caliber player, just say no. Have we ever finished a season, not counting walk ons, where we used all of our scholarships?
That has been one of my concerns. You can improve in every area, but if you can’t stop third downs or convert 3rd downs, you’re never going to be a good team.
With this schedule, I would say the only loss would be Georgia. In three years Saban would having us competing for an ACC championship. Of course he would oversign and run off a bunch of players and pi$$ed off the Hill among others.
