Around SBN: UFC 143 Results: Winners, Losers, And Other Thoughts

[If] people hold contain, people do their jobs in that football game in critical points, that [TCU] game is a completely different game. It was good for players to be able to see that to realize that we are not in as bad of shape as we thought we were, and we are still a very good football team, and we are able to move forward."

Hmmmm

This is the same stuff we heard after the Florida State game. It’s also similar to stuff we heard the last few years (I remember clearly quotes like this after the Tulsa game and the Boston College game). It seems like a recurring (out of assignment, out of gap, or out of position) theme could be addressed better in practice somehow. At some point, you have to say, what is causing this recurring problem? Speed? Football IQ? Desire? Skill level? Coaching? Out of all of those, I’d say coaching. If I’m the principal of a school, and my students continually struggle in one area, at some point, I go off to conferences and professional development, and I meet with other school admins to gain insight as to how I can change this element of my school culture or performance. I then implement changes. I’d like to hear our coaching staff offer insights in this regard. I’d like to hear them say, “Hey, we see a recurring theme here in big games against good teams, and this is how we’re addressing it.” Instead, all I keep hearing is a repeated diagnosis of the problem. At some point, for those of us contributing money to the program by way of alumni donations, season tickets, and buying $50 bottles of water at games, we’d like to know why the diagnosis is always the same, but the remedy is never discussed in detail.
