This idea that you are "accepting mediocrity" if you don't fire guys who don't right away meet expectations is so dumb. Letting KB go for performance reasons would be idiotic unless the plan is a complete change in philosophy, like switching to the triple option or something. All things considered, he did fine.
Understood. But come on. Everyone's opinion get's attacked by certain posters on this board. Some worse than others, (cough dixahu cough) and nothings happens. I post a gif of the Mr. Roger's letting someone know they're number 1 and the post gets deleted.
You are accepting it when you hired it to start
They both won something with another coaches players- something Dykes has done before and then once those guys moved on - it was over
I understand that at times it might appear nothing is happening, but please keep in mind that mods don't see every post and often we're only made aware of posts that are the more egregious or include visual elements that run afoul of the rules rather than reading every individual opinion on the board. The report feature is our biggest help in locating posts that need attention, and when no one reports a post it can go unseen. Additionally, many of the mods, as well as myself, reach out to posters behind the scenes and play mediator so as not to continue making the issues public. Also, I and most of the mods have been out of town for Thanksgiving break, so a loss like this at the end of the season really has our short staff scrambling between dealing with reports, PMs from upset members, new member approvals and vetting, and a solid amount of emails in our support inbox. I realize that all sounds like excuses, and it is, but while we want people to be free to post their opinions on the staff (even ours), the season, and personnel changes moving forward, we really do try to continue applying the board rules while weighing the legitimacy and the amount of venting we allow to continue publicly.
Yes. There were only a couple times when more than three rushed, and while those results were effective, the Frogs immediately returned to their static 3-3-5. I watched a lot of football over the weekend and saw no team play a defensive front like TCU does. As Coach Chris Petersen said yesterday on Fox, "It's always pressure over coverage." The Auburn - Alabama game was a perfect example of that. Rushing only two linemen gave the Alabama QB all the time he wanted to carefully select one of his 5 receivers in the end zone being frantically covered by 8 defenders. Pass completed to back corner of the end zone. TD! Crimson Tide wins, avoiding an upset, in part due to an accommodating defense from their rivals. Great effort by Alabama. Inexcusable for Auburn.
Maybe unfair but I always look at when they joined here. A couple of really angry posters joined in late ‘21 around the time Dykes was being considered and hired. Any connection? Who knows. When it is incessantly bellicose, I go the ignore route.
And they were nonexistent last year. Wonder why?
"They" are still here, "they" will still be here. This is the hotel California for "them".
Yes, it’s one of the early 3 pillars of success used by coaches like Halas and Madden.
He’s said all year that we’ve practiced well…..do with that what you will.
