[QUOTE="TromboneJacket, post: 860764, member: 2580"] Maybe, maybe not. It depends on the old coach and the new coach. Sometimes a new coach comes in because the old one left for greener pastures, and the new coach is similar enough that it’s an easy transition. And it depends on the players; they are people too, after all. And maybe this is why Collins had an easier time at Temple than Tech. He had worked with Matt Rhule several times in his career, so he was familiar with the way Rhule did things and knew what to expect from his players. It’s possible that maybe CPJ’s players tended to have a chip on their shoulder because many of them weren’t highly rated by the recruiting services and felt overlooked by the teams we were playing. It’s possible that because CPJ saw potential in them where others didn’t, they became fiercely loyal to him and then felt like Collins saw them the same way as the coaches who overlooked them, redirecting that anger from opponents to their own head coach, thus turning what was previously a strength into a weakness. CPJ may not have had a unique way of running a program, but he recruited differently from most other coaches at this level. To make a Star Wars analogy ( for those who follow some of the new material), it’s like Collins was used to leading Regs (standard soldiers with whom standard strategies, tactics, procedures, and leadership are effective), but CPJ’s players were the Bad Batch (a ragtag group of misfits with skills that weren’t inferior to the regs, but different and needed a leader who could not only figure out how to use these unusual skills effectively but also manage these unconventional personalities). While Collins has done a great job recruiting, his focus on improving recruiting likely alienated many of the returning players immediately and bred resentment that’s hampered our cohesion. Regardless of how we got to this point, this is the year that we need better results. Collins has had 3 years to turn over the roster and develop young players. Regardless of whether my speculation is accurate, we should have the players and coaches in place to win more games. I really hope we manage to succeed. [/QUOTE]
