[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 633678, member: 265"] I was at the Citadel game. Two instances: • One of the things that made me most upset was the way Collins had picked three players to stand in front of our bench and try to lead cheers for the players on the field. As the game went on this became more and more forced ("If I don't act like I'm up for this, I'll never see the field!"). If a team has discipline, it has absolutely no need for such faked enthusiasm. Focus on the game by all the players is all that is needed. As I said in an earlier thread, it [I]actually[/I] seems Collins thinks that enthusiasm, no matter how forced, on the sidelines will somehow translate to performance on the field. Nope. Never has, never will. • The other instance in the game was when the refs issued a sideline interference warning to our bench. Many of the players and [I]some of the coaches[/I] started jeering at the call. News Flash! When the refs call you for that, the coaches should push the players back and take the lead in reminding them that the next violation is a 15 yard penalty. [I]Some of our coaches didn't do that[/I]. Ok, youthful high spirits and all that, I suppose. But the coaches ae supposed to be the adults on the field when stuff like this happens. [I]They weren't[/I]. When you are new at the job these kinds of things can happen. I certainly hope the staff is taking steps to increase team discipline both on [I]and[/I] off the field. And, just for the record, I don't hate our coach. Football isn't important enough to be something you hate someone about. I admit I'm disappointed so far, though I look for improvement, but that's it. [/QUOTE]
