Randy was trying to be Bill Belichick. That style doesn't work in college anymore.
Yeah, generally it doesn’t… although probably some winning programs with established habits might be able to get away with a lot more of the hard a** discipline culture than the losing programs that lost a game to an FCS program for example.
Here at Randy land 2.0 it was decided that the best way to build a team is to spank it into submission indefinitely.
One of the consequences of the “just execute” environment is that kids play tight because they are overthinking to avoid being lectured during the film breakdown. You can’t win playing tight. And this team has reeked tightness for four years. Way too tight. Until now.
