I agree. We clearly weren’t physical enough and playing teams straight up for the most part didn’t work at all. It’s up to the coach to keep trying different things to find something that works.
Why don't you try that with someone who cares.
I think the 3-4 years "to build a program" idea is a thing of the past. In the age of social media and, more importantly, big $$, the negativity snowballs so fast that schools don't think they can wait. They can at least sell hope and it's easier to sell hope with a new coach every 3-4 years.
Sometimes a bone marrow transplant can cause it to change.
How sanguiphobic.
It's been that way for many, many years! If we can field a competitive team, and maybe rank in the top 20, we're overjoyed. Do that and the donations will come in consistently. The coaches...???...you understand, I'm sure.
There was an article evaluating NFL coaches and winning. The data pretty much showed that if your coach hasn't won it all in their first few years, you should just move on from them. It talked a lot about the psychology behind messages and motivational styles getting stale. CFB is not the NFL, but it's moving that direction. And, when you consider the shortening attention spans of pretty much everyone, it makes sense.
