Message: [QUOTE="RuffRuff, post: 5198064, member: 1268"] Players will come and go, the staff is the constant and the program, and we have a great one. This feels like a hangover season. We were due. Staff is coming off a perfect team high, now trying to coach up a very flawed roster, has to be exhausting. If the players weren’t going to put it on themselves to get this right at this point, this was never gonna happen. More than anything that game yesterday exposed that part of this groups DNA. Still feels a little unfocused, a little lazy, a little whimsical, undisciplined, disconnected, lacks self starters. This at a point they need to be hitting stride. The Mahaney experiment was so darn off - needed a dude that knew who he was and confident he could come in and add value, lead, be bedrock. Instead we got a kid changing positions with a total lack of confidence. The staff knew what they were getting with the Sophs, man did they miss on every level with AM. Needed upper class strength in that add, not someone confusing an already confused rotation further. That has been a massive miss, and I’m sure they’re kicking themselves. Had we gotten a kid like Haggerty or Small, we’d likely be in a very different position. Instead of bringing in a kid ready to be an alpha, the staff has probably burnt their time massaging confidence. Live and learn. [/QUOTE]
