[QUOTE="daBuzz, post: 60500, member: 56"] How are you determining that he's getting roughly the same results? We've already established that the '08 and '09 teams were heavily laden with NFL talent. In those 2 years, we 8-4 and 11-3. Since that talent has left the Flats, our records are 6-7, 8-5, 7-7, and 7-6. Are you really calling that doing the same with less talent? I've already conceded that the man can apparently coach NFL talent well. But what that shows to me is that, when that talent goes, he does not appear to have the ability to restock the talent and you can expect teams that are around the .500 mark. Also, regarding the baseball fundamentals things, that happens a lot in rec leagues and all-star teams. And talented teams that are fundamentally unsound are always susceptible to being beaten. But when the average pitch speed moves above the 85 mph mark, everything changes. When the other team can run 5 guys out there who are all 90 mph or better (at 16 years old, mind you), then coaching isn't going to give your guys the ability to hit that. You better have well-coached but very talented hitters on your team or you're toast. To the poster who commented that football is easier to scheme around athletes than baseball, I agree with you 100%. However, what happens when the other team is well-coached also and they have the better talent? I'll still put my money on the team with the better athletes....like Virginia Tech, Clemson, UGA, and Miami. I think it's a simple formula with those games...they simply have better athletes than we do at this point in time. If we want to beat them consistently, I honestly believe that the only way to do that on a consistent basis is to get athletes who are more on par with what they're getting. [/QUOTE]
