Have you considered playing the receivers who have proven they can block and catch a football instead of those who just pass the "eye test" but can't catch a cold and are afraid of contact?

Do you ever get tired of the critics and naysayers?
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. "
Holtz never came close to saying or thinking what Teddy said or thought.Originally Posted by eagle2180
And you have never walked the sidelines as a coach.....
So? That does not disqualify me and other fans from knowing how weak our HC is?
I’d like to know, what’s been the point of putting in back-up QB Elliot in the last two games in such unproductive situations?
I can’t see that it’s really doing Elliot any good other than maybe to help him make up his mind that he’d likely be treated better somewhere else.
One sure way for Holtz to seal the deal on J’Mar being his guy is to run off all other candidates. What’s the count so far of departed QBs 3(?)?
Why not play him? Game is in hand... play the backups. Been going on for years. What options does Elliot have? He was an academic qualifier yet played at a JC......
“Coach, do you ever get upset about anything?”
if you have never been in the arena as a coach... I would say you don't truly understand the game.....Maybe why Coach Mick quit posting here.
I think coach Mick does not post so he does not give us fans qualified opinions that would reflect poorly on our current staff and A.D. IMHO .
Maybe so... I don't agree.
No high horse here, just wonder how many of the critics have actually ridden a horse!
I had two "tours" as a football coach. 1) I was head coach for a Pop Warner team, 2) I was DC for a small academy playing LISA football.
But, I played high school football for some very good coaches. I give ALL the credit for our success to them. Frankly, we were a bunch of small players who had no business being as successful, no, as dominant! as we were. Our DC, Coach Henry Rando, used to say, "my players are small....but they are slow." Actually, he was just being him, he always put us down. Was never satisfied no matter what we accomplished on the field. But, the HOURS and HOURS of film study, and our Sunday afternoon "skull sessions" where we also watched hours of film where he showed us our next opponent's tendencies is just a small example of the intense coaching we benefitted from. Our practices were brutal. We had more players hurt in practice than we ever did in games.
Point is, I think I know something of what a HUGE difference good coaching makes.
And why is it, with the Sunshine Pumpers, that Tech always has a great coach, one beyond reproach, yet we rarely actually accomplish anything great? In this case, Skip Holtz, who I think is a "good" coach, but is hardly someone not deserving of some criticism.
I'm a fan not a coach. Our coach is paid well to make decisions other coaches don't have trouble making. Clock management and special teams are just two of those weaknesses in Holtz. It's football 101 with other coaches.
