[QUOTE="Bruce Wayne, post: 9326, member: 231"] Cuse, I agree although I am more reticent about reading CPJ's mind as regards what he will or won't mention as an excuse. I have been struck by his consistency of opinion myself. That is, when he got here he talked about redshirting as his desire and strategy and has consistently looked at having seniors and redshirt seniors filling the two-deep as critical for having a high and continuous likelihood of success. I think he believes that is true of most, or even all college football teams. So this year the change in what he says is distinct in that he consistently treats the team as [I]exactly [/I]this kind of experienced and senior-heavy team that he has wanted all along. I have no clue if he would consider the caveats I mentioned of a young/new starting QB or new coaches as crutches or legit excuses. The fact that he doesn't mention them (remember I am the one who brought them up) suggests to me that he thinks the seniority part trumps all else. He expects this team to be better. Therefore, this year and then the next seem to me to be the make or break years of evaluation of him as head coach [I]on his own terms[/I], and that he would have no problem admitting as much to Bobinski if his boss were to look at it the same way. This may be where his famous confidence comes in because although like all coaches he never makes predictions about results and wins/losses; he seems more willing than most coaches to give specific details on why he thinks his team should be good/improved. Most of the time coaches just give optimistic platitudes or try and hedge their bets as regards expectations. [/QUOTE]
