Depth Chart Changes: Homecoming

[whaler11]

I never realized how easy it is to coach a college football team until I started reading the BY.
Am I the only one here not a professional coach?

Some parts are actually pretty easy.

When to use timeouts. When to go on fourth down. When to take 3 versus going for a touchdown.

It's odd how these people that are above criticism can't handle those simple functions. So... I guess nothing else can be questioned.

How dare anyone question the coach of a 1-6 team ranked 122nd out of 128?

What's next? Someone questioning Paul Pasqualoni? That guy coached in a million bowl games!

That's how I used to feel about Edsall. Granted all these guys know more football than any of us. They get paid millions to do it, but it doesn't mean they can't get second guessed on a MESSAGE BOARD.

And I only second guess about things where I have a valid opinion.

Let me know when I second guess a decision about man vs zone or a 3-4 versus a 4-3.

But if you say and do ridiculous things I'm not going to ignore it. If you are going to stand up and lie about things I'm not going to pretend I don't know.

You want to shut people up? Win a game.

In whose opinion are they valid?

Diaco has made some puzzling decisions especially on burning so many shirts on guys who get very limited time or do not look ready but he is a smart motivated guy who is taking the long view on building the program and for his career. Not that Pasqualoni recruited poorly as recall lot of excitement about many of his recruits at the time, it was that many of guys did not develop once they got here from both football and strength and training perspective, which is on the previous regime.

Although some of the returning guys were probably more ready now, Diaco saw the team was suspect at QB and was not going to be world beaters and decided to go with lot of freshmen over sophs and juniors even if not ready now, as they start getting developed as he probably rightfully feels they have better long term upside. Focusing on and talking up young guys and he gets a free pass until at least year three. When he gets to 6-7 wins in year three, he looks like a great program builder and either hopefully gets us to a stronger conference and gets the big bucks that comes with that or he parlays that to a P5 job if we are still stuck in the AAC. We will be a good team again just might be a little longer than many of us want.

On topics where you are weighing risk against reward or evaluating probabilities, I've been credentialed by enough professional associations to be confident my opinions are valid.

They might not always be right, but that is a different argument.

Nah Art will step up and save me the trouble. It will give us a good opportunity to bask in true fandom.
