[QUOTE="jojatk, post: 645611, member: 2627"] I don't think it's logical to assume that people who are blaming talent for losses to Duke and UNC think that's the only reason for those losses. Nor do I think it's logical to say that if someone thinks talent is the main reason why we lost to UNC but don't, in the same sentence say "but that's not why we lost to Citadel", that that must mean they think the same is true about Citadel. It's a very unsafe assumption, in my experience, to make when interacting on a message board that a person will give you all the context or even in a single post or even a single thread. For example, when I'm talking about the UNC game I will reference that our biggest issue was the relative strengths of our OL and DL versus theirs. That doesn't mean that I think our coaches called a perfect game. It doesn't mean that I think our coaches made all the right decisions leading up to that game. But I do think that they could have gotten everything right and we still would have lost that game because we couldn't even get close to their QB. And if you infer from what I said that I think the same is true about the Citadel game then you'd be dead wrong. I think I've made myself pretty clear in other posts that we lost the Citadel game because the coaches did a poor job in a number of areas from play calling to game preparation but MOSTLY in losing control of the team. I think they let the "fun" aspect go so far that we saw lack of discipline both on the field and off it AND since they didn't do a good job preparing the team and calling the game that the talent we have wasn't enough to overcome those coaching screw-ups. However, I do think it's fair to say that many people think that the biggest problem we have is the overall talent level. I also believe that's our biggest problem vis a vis many of our opponents. And I don't look at the Duke game and think "wow, if not for a bunch of coaching screw-ups we win that game," unlike Citadel where I absolutely say that. But again, that doesn't mean I think the coaches couldn't have done better against Duke. [/QUOTE]
