[QUOTE="Sheboygan, post: 802893, member: 4690"] Sports talking head Beau Bock is back on the air after his stroke. MANY years ago he coined the phrase that many of you are familiar with - Grandma Talent. For those of you not familiar, it means having recruited( or inherited) enough football talent that your Grandma could win games coaching them. Gentlemen and Ladies, we obviously have upped our recruiting and added more better players than we have lost by transfer. We had a ways to go before Collins got here and still have a ways to go to compete consistently with UVA, Pitt, BC, etc. , not to mention ND, UGA and Clem. Both FSU and UL were train wrecks at points during the season last year- we beat both didn't we ? Check out [URL unfurl="true"]https://collegefootballnews.com/2021/03/2021-college-football-predictions-schedules-130-teams-spring[/URL] It gives a fairly good run down on our conference, IMO. In the group of FSU , UL, BC and Tech with new-ish coaches, we seem to be the one lagging behind. Projected records for 2021 compared to last year: Tech in 2020 3-7, 2021 4-9......ONE win increase BC in 2020 6-5 ( WOW !), 2021 6-6.......Hafley hired coordinators with NFL experience in 2020 AND installed a Pass oriented offense in Year 1. UL in 2020 4-7 , 2021 6-6.........TWO more wins FSU in 2020 3-6 , 2021 6-6......DOUBLE their win total We keep talking ( mostly ) about talent upgrades, but it appears that we may also be undergoing coaching that needs to get up to speed with the rest of the conference. Not to say that eventually they won't improve substantially, but so far I don't see a lot of evidence that our coordinators are making impressive improvements in taking some better talent and translating it to better PERFORMANCE on the field. Apparently CFN doesn't really expect much of a jump in that either Let's face it - we will never recruit Grandma Talent at Tech ! We MUST HAVE excellent coaches that can "coach up" players to play smart , clean football ......sharper focus, less mental mistakes, better fundamentals, less penalties, above average special teams, good game day coaching with timely scheme adjustments and clock management. I don't think seeing the improvements I listed will necessarily guarantee more wins, but they would sure be excellent indicators that we are on the right track. What say you ?? [/QUOTE]
