[QUOTE="jojatk, post: 969252, member: 2627"] Without arguing for or against Brent Key there have been plenty of offensive coordinators and defensive coordinators who have been GREAT at those jobs and been horrendously bad head coaches. My point is that it's entirely possible to be better at one job than another. I don't know if Key is going to be better as a head coach or not. But he's the guy in charge at the moment so I'm trying my best to support him and, as I have done with every head coach, trying to figure out how he can be successful and am hoping to spot reasons to think that can happen. Negatives (not an exhaustive list): - kept Thacker - head scratching game management (timeouts in particular but having 10 guys on the field multiple times in a single game is just terrible) - Very bad losses to UVA last year and BGSU this year (I am not ready to put the BC game down as a VERY bad loss like those just yet because I think they are probably pretty comparable to us) Positives (not an exhaustive list): - in 15 games, inheriting the team he got from Collins, he has 7 wins which is only 3 less than Collins had in 38 games (yeah I know, not a high bar to eclipse but it's a positive anyway) - He seems to be more accountable for things and you get the feeling that he is at least TRYING to fix problems and learn from mistakes (that doesn't mean he's being successful at it but it's better than the last guy and yes, again, I admit that's not a very high bar) - There does seem to be more discipline in the program than under TFG and usually that pays off My hope is that we have a situation similar in some ways to when Ross took over for Curry. There were a bunch of the more experienced players who didn't seem to want to play for Ross but also stuck around and just didn't give 100% effort. I am not going to say there were malcontents or that guys purposely played poorly. Just that they weren't prepared to give it everything they had for a guy that hadn't recruited them and in an environment that was significantly more restrictive with Ross. It wasn't until Ross had enough of his own recruits in that he was able to bench some of those guys and get a some more buy-in. I started this paragraph saying it was a hope. I am only comparing Brent to Bobby in that he is more about discipline than the last guy was, not that Brent holds a candle to Bobby in terms of anything else. So again, my hope is that as more of the guys are bought in to Brent and the new coaches that we'll see some more signs of improvement. [/QUOTE]
