Coach needs to follow his own advice. I await to see what he has learned and what changes he is going to make.
One game d plays well but offense is terrible. Next game o is good and D is terrible. Special teams is consistent- not special. Commonality is that we never play 4 quarters of consistent football as a team. and usually one group literally no shows for at least a half while we have a couple of player discipline and coaching brain farts. For 2 years. People talk about players, and we have issues, but the consistent inconsistency is an undeniable and unacceptable implication of our coaches.
You forgot to mention intentional grounding when your freshman inexperienced quarterback panics and throws it to the invisible man.
Gator FB is over for this year and I will leave all of the post season discussion to you guys. I'm spending today putting up Christmas decorations and getting ready to spend The Season with my wife, my 4 children, their spouses and my 6 six grandchildren(another on the way). I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas.
Ur over complicating this man. It’s just weed. Toke one out when it starts going bad and all your angst will dissipate. In fact you’ll probly be more inclined to get a burrito and some Doritos, turn the game off and play some video games. Voila. Problem solved.
Fsu has had one of the better defenses in the nation all year. They held lsu under 30, did anyone else?
If Napier never calls another trick play I’d be thrilled. Not a damn one of them has worked, and ALL of them have killed momentum at a critical point.
FSU is a paper tiger and most likely will get rolled next week by Louisville unless the ACC officials step in, err I mean “call a tight game “ to protect their playoff chances.
Definitely squashed the momentum. But I believe we survive that long f we don’t give them a first down for spitting. I believe that it the single play that turned the game.
It’s a completely different game today. Pay for Play has changed everything. The past is pretty much irrelevant
The problem for me is Napier needs to avoid using the rebuild as an excuse and try to go for a win at all costs in the game. Hugh Freeze is having to do a similar rebuild at Auburn and he goes all out in every game. Will that fail at time - of course it can backfire...but you will also create that daredevil attitude in your players and make them believe. Napier seems to be less into motivation/emotion and more into the process and the players follow that. Sorry to say, but he sucks the emotion out during the game. This process oriented approach works only when everything is working flawlessly. With our current flaws, we need to more than just follow the process. Unfortunately for me, Napier doesn't seem to give that vibe.
I haven’t chimed in on this but my biggest complaint about BN is I just don’t see the fire. I don’t see the desire to crush an opponent. I see him far too often as the guy that is far too happy to shut it down and go completely predictable when he feels he’s got a shot to get a field goal opportunity to take a one point lead knowing his D is going to give it up in another minute or so. He just seems happy with moral victories. I want a cold blooded assassin. We talk about all these other coaches that are dicks. I want one of those. A Stoops, Drinkowitz even a Kiffen. Not those guys specifically but guys that will go for the throat and seem to figure out how to build a program even with less talented guys. You get that guy with the recruiting that should be easy at Florida and we’re onto something. Hell I’d take Tebow and let him buy an experienced staff with an OC that calls plays, a nasty D coordinator, 1 O line Coach and an experienced special teams coordinator. Let Spikes be ur recruiting coordinator and get the horses. All hypothetical of course. Just watching Antonio Pierce do a pretty good job as a head coach with the Raiders just being a head coach and not trying to do too much.
Because the offense left them on the field all night. You can't sit on a 12pt 1st Qtr lead in modern college football. It isn't 1966. And this defense was already playing over its head.
