Last thing I think a few QB draws would be beneficial to us, maybe one a quarter. The FL interior DL isn't great and we could get a few first downs with good blocking.

That or a bootleg run. When we were doing counter plays against BYU the backside collapsed multiple times. If JG were to have kept the ball it would have easily been 7 or 8 yard gains until the adjusted.

Y’all. If your kid plays football. The best thing you can do is motivate them & not destroy them. Rule changing isn’t changing the game it’s parents on the sideline. @ me idc. When my guys are coaching up players and then y’all come over and tell them something different and then proceed to get mad at us when we lose you can gtfoh with it. I wish coaches had more rights on the field.

 

[SaguaroVols]

I hope we have 2-3 timeouts in the 4th quarter with the lead and time running out on O to use them and extend the game and rub it all in the Swamp. Eff the Gatas.

Would be awesome.

It's salty in here the last few weeks so I'm telling you upfront I'm not arguing with you haha but......

I think it depends on your definition of "kill it" as compared to what we need right now. I think we need someone to pull us out of the ditch and get us back driving down the road. I thi k he could be successful at that. I dont think he would come here, turn the program around, and win nattys.But I'd rather take him then take a chance on another up and comer. JMO

A brand new goalpost? One at a time!

Not stretching the field, relative to who? In the SEC he has the 2nd most attempts of 20+ yards and is 2nd in those completions...

NEXT MYTH!

Do any of you have any actual facts to support your myths or just throw them out as fuzzy ideas in your head that you've built up?

JG is in a bit of a slump. He's physically fine but he's been off target when we needed him most. That's why it's sticking in people's minds that he sucks. It also doesn't help that we've sucked every year he's played. It's not his fault but that association has stuck to him like glue because he's the face of the team.

It would be the football team's version of hiring Rick Barnes.

Helicopter parents take youth sports waaay too seriously.

Helicopter parents take youth sports waaay too seriously.

I had a player tonight crying after the game. To me that’s acceptable and I encouraged him. His dad came over and lit his butt up. I’m not gonna say what was said but I can see the love of the game leaving the boys face. He’s a good player too but his dad thinks he should already be NFL ready

But my little Jimmy is going to be an all pro one day

Helicopter parents take youth sports waaay too seriously.

I was a girls softball coach for years. We travelled all over the country and won “almost” every tournament we entered. Lose one and the parents would have a complete meltdown. The last 2 seasons I did it, I had parent rules. Got to the point were I was having to let kids go because of crazy parents. I ended up just “retiring” from travel ball. Now days the High School asks me to come help coach. I like doing it but I feel like a dog that’s been kicked over and over. I won’t deal with parents ever again.

Saying that, you can parent how you want too idc. But, when they are under my care on the field let me do my job. Last week, we won 34-0. I still had parents yelling at there kids and grabbing them by the facemask. You know how hard it is to coach a game when parents come to the fence and yell at the kids and I have to stop trying to read what they are doing and separate them.

Sadly, one of our coaches is retiring this season because of the same exact reason.

Parents can either make or break a team. If you don’t lay ground rules right up front, they’ll try to take over. I cut my best 3 players because of their parents.

My daughter still plays travel ball. We were in gulf port a few months ago. There was a team there without parents from Florida. It was awesome.

I played travel baseball for a few years. The parents get waaaay out of hand. As a player you just want them to shut tf up. It's embarrassing whether you know them or not.

They get livid with us when they miss practice.

We have a rule that if your late or miss practice you won’t start the game and parents get pissssssed. We do understand things but when they just don’t wanna practice they pay. We had a boy quit over it. Most of our parents get mad at our scheme but when the kids are buying into it we do great and when they don’t we lose. Our defense is the best in the league but our offense shoots themselves in the foot every game.

I think you have a national title or you’re ass mindset. Don’t take for granted a ton of success just bc you didn’t win a ring.

Man I really don’t know. My dad bought it for me at a benefit for someone a couple years ago.

Better be a winner!
