[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 840790, member: 2426"] Do you realize how what you wrote sounds? "coaches are learning just like the players". What recruit would want to commit to a program where the coaches don't know how to coach? Are you seriously saying that the coaches are recruiting as 'We can develop you into an NFL player', but they don't even know yet how to coach them into NCAA players? Also, do you seriously believe that ANY college program should hire a full staff of coaches who "are learning just like the players"? You can have one or two on staff to train. You can't have a full staff. I don't buy that the entire staff is still learning how to coach. Collins has been an NCAA coach since 2001, and was a GA two years before that. He has been a DC for about 10 years. He has been a head coach for 5 years now. At what point in a 50 year life span and 22 years of coaching NCAA football do you learn game/clock/time management? There are a lot of people in the stands who have never coached organized football that knew timeouts should have been called in the BC game. I am not trying to simply bash the coach. Maybe the system of communication they are using is causing the game management to be very poor. However, even if that is the case it has been a constant problem for three years now. Whatever the problem with game management is, it needs to be fixed very soon. Maybe pay O'Leary to sit in the press box with headphones and tell these "inexperienced" (in your words) coaches when to call timeout, when to go for two, when to go on fourth down, etc. I understand that players will sometimes make mistakes. I understand that players will sometimes be physically outmatched. What I refuse to accept is that the coaches seem incapable of getting player substitutions made, that coaches seem incapable of getting play calls in to the team, that coaches seem to be incapable of looking at time/clock/down/distance/score/etc. with any understanding of football. They are not student-athletes, they are well paid professionals. I expect better. [/QUOTE]
