[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 845227, member: 265"] I agree. But the main problem is that leadership is missing. Why did Paul's teams so often perform beyond their recruiting rankings? I think the main reason was that the players trusted his leadership. By that I mean that they thought that if they kept the game close, he'd find a way for them to win. That's no guarantee that they would, but, if you win enough by following your coach's calls and come close other times, then you begin to get confidence in both the program and yourself. Dodd was famous for telling his players just how good he thought they were; he wasn't afraid to tell them that the other side had a better team. What he did say is that if it looked like it was possible, he would find a way for them to win. And that happened a lot. That kind of confidence is just what the team is lacking today. It may develop next year, though I don't think there are grounds for assuming it will. But … perhaps. [/QUOTE]
