There is not a lot Tstan can do right now unless he has money from a supporter that is not currently in the bank.i saw lots of fire the bb coach post last year. the did look bad - dropped 2 easy games. But then we figured out how to play the best press defense in the nation - and now he has a new contract.
right now we have very few FB player that won't be eligible next year. they will grow and play faster. sadly it will be a while.
Collins has not made many great memoirs for me besides better people skills and recruiting class.
His banter has been effective in recruiting - it s spelled Gibbs
However = him running to pick up a sideline ball and then running to hand it to the official drives me nuts.
His belief in "our so called system" of game week preparation is overvalued during the game has caused obvious head scratching moments.. There is nothing wrong with a practice system that encourages max effort in practice, rewards with pt, and remove players when the are getting tired. On defense we have gone from playing too few players way too much to having players run in and out while changing defenses on the fly.
When a system is not working and a manager wont change it - his boss must take note.
Saturday tstan said his plan and will implement it. i think he meant his always had in his plan the current situation.
One thing he could do is force Collins to bring in different assistant coaches. Key probably has a buy out clause and as a former player his job is likely pretty safe right now. Coach P may be on pretty solid ground with the progress the offense has made. Thacker is one who needs to be on belay career wise.
If Tstan or the board feels they are losing attendance and relevance as a program, maybe they could try something creative. If the "rumblings" of disaffected players turns out to be true they might "have cause" to negotiate a settlement rather than face court challenges with an outright firing. More likely that he remains in place through next season at least.
BC looks like a hot mess right now, so maybe Collins can scratch out another win and avoid a third straight 3-win season. I cannot see us beating anyone else.
