I always thought it would be interesting for a football team to consult a magician and see if they could come up with creative ways to make the other team look silly.
I don't mind the moxie and aggression. I think much of the time him forcing things was because he was feeling unsure and not able to see and process what he needed to quickly enough. That is what I hope to change. Don't want to take aggression away for the sake of it, though.
WR coaches are often recruiting centered. We don't have big $ to throw around. Whoever it is I probably will never have heard of them, but if they're young, enthusiastic, personable, and motivated to work their tail off, then I'm on board.
It's not the same. They could lose a conference championship game and still make the playoff. If they lose a first round playoff game, they're out.
Scenario A: 0-1 loss ND going into championship week
1. Win conference championship, earn bye
2. Lose conference championship, still make playoff...
I don't agree with that analysis. Two highly ranked teams facing off isn't going to bump someone out of the playoffs (see: Georgia/Alabama, Oregon/Washington). There is more potential that someone in the 8-12 range loses their chance if they lose the conference championship. On the flip side...
Complex and predictable seem somewhat opposed to each other, but I can certainly see where they can coexist. I've spent way too much time in my life imagining the best way to train football players and learn playbooks where they can automatically recognize what is needed without conscious...
3-5-7-??? This is an easy series. The only question is do we get 9 in the regular season and lose a bowl or get 8 in the regular season and 1 in the post season. I don't think 7 could possibly get us to conference championship or playoff so I won't consider those crazy scenarios.
Honestly if someone offered me $1M I'm not sure how much my integrity held up. No idea what the number is I'm just throwing something out there. This era of CFB is wild.
Can't really say how much that matters unless you are really close to the program. He might have given a lot of advice to Thacker but ultimately wanted to run the defense much differently if he were in charge. Changing things dramatically mid season would have been a nightmare. Not sure how...
