[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 820738, member: 2957"] I remember when Bill Curry became coach. He freely admitted he did NOT know how to coach as a HC on game day when the bullets are flying. So after EVERY game, he sat down with Bobby Dodd and they dissected the game ... what worked and why, what did not work and why, and things to pay attention to next time. It's amazing to me that an NFL Champion and 3 time Super Bowl player freely admitted he needed the help. Geoff doesn't strike me as nearly as knowledgeable and honestly, he's a bit on the arrogant side as he builds his "elite system" ... that isn't working. I wonder WHO he should sit down with after each game so he can learn to be a better head coach. George O'Leary? Bobby Ross? Why not? As to execution, Bear Bryant spoke about this a lot. Very few drives are perfectly executed. In fact, you can bank on making a mistake ... missed assignment, penalty, etc. So, you had better have a game plan that includes at least one 35 yd gainer to overcome the disadvantage created by the inevitable mistake. As Bryant observed, no one gets upset because of a mistake. (Ok, maybe Saban does.) It's what you do about it that counts. Personally, I think Geoff is clueless as a head coach. And it's questionable if he is even that good on defense. I'm just wondering if this was all baked into the decision that TStan made ... "Geoff ... you are going to be terrible. Here's $23 million dollars. Now, go take those arrows in the back and all of the abuse you're going to get. TStan." [/QUOTE]
