[QUOTE="SOWEGA Jacket, post: 767915, member: 4334"] I’m starting to agree with this thought. Many times in life people, especially successful people, forget that knowing your own weaknesses and constantly addressing those weaknesses is what made you successful in the first place. Collins has many, many strengths, but after 2 years at Temple and now 2 years at GT the same weaknesses have been noticed during his head coaching tenure. If I could give coach one thought it would be to find someone, his version of ”Pete” from Moneyball, who he can rely on at a moments notice to manage the in game calls, ie. timeouts, going or not going for it, going for two, when to hurry/when to slow, etc. Collins has been dreadful at managing the game during the game. If he is going to continue to be the hype man and emotional counselor during the game then he needs someone he can rely on who actually pays attention to the game clock, the 40/25 second clock, down and distance, the score and its variations, etc. I believe Collins can be a very good head coach of a program but he needs to acknowledge his shortcomings and address them before it’s too late. Hire a nerd with a clipboard and knowledge of the game to make those decisions. The top tier coaches all have guys they trust to make strong suggestions while the bullets are flying. Collins lets his emotions take over way to often during the game. [/QUOTE]
