It’s certainly not advantageous for a coach who spent a year or more on your staff to go somewhere and bring his own team into a game against you. But what exactly were you supposed to glean from that experience about how a consultant would run his own team? Dykes got to experience Patterson’s system from the inside. It didn’t work both ways. I can pretty much guarantee that if CGP got to spend a year in another coach’s system like that and then prepared a team to play against him, defensive records would be broken.
100% agree.
Which is precisely why the comments GP made in regards to SMU calling out plays is scheissing mind blowing.
Everyone talks about GP “not showing much in the UAPB game” and “playing very vanilla.”
Wouldn’t it make some sense to implement some new ship into both the defensive and offensive schemes, if not for this game, but games moving forward? Instead, he took the lazy approach and said things like
1. The team didn’t practice well all week
2. They were calling out our plays
3. I don’t know why Cumbie stuck with Duggan, that’s why he’s got microphones in his face.
Some really perplexing stuff right there.
