You're a fool if you think the S&C coach needs to be fired. An absolute fool. He could literally go anywhere in America if he wanted to.Originally Posted by glm47
I continuously see us pushed around and whipped at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball...
Lot of fluff and talk, very little results as I see it
Add me to the group that is unimpressed -
''Don't be a bad dagh..."
Probably the best ones to speak to this accurately in terms of results, in addition to coaches, are the numerous players drafted and on NFL rosters since his hire.
I think the S&C's results has shown by how few players we have going out with injuries. Since I've been following Tech football since 2009, I've almost always noticed how we consistently had less players going out with injuries throughout our games than our opponents. On our aggressiveness, I'd say that's on the positional/coordinators.
Keep in mind that we see players from other teams "going out with injury" who really aren't going out. One way to slow down our offense is fake injury. We've been up against that for years (since Dykes/Franklin). Just wanted to point that out. According to C-USA COY HCSH, we have plenty of injuries on our team.
Good point.
We were undersized on the DL this year. The Wallace injury hurt. Aaron Brown and Jordan Bradford go about 270. We usually have some 300 pounders there. The OL got whipped by the stronger DLs we played (Arkansas, WKU, and USM). They did fine in the other 10 games though.
Looking at the whole year, we averaged 5.3 yards a rush and they averaged 3.7 rushing on us. (win) We do need to get stronger on the OL against the stronger DLs though.
We get pushed around because we are a football team that does not identify as being tough. Our players possess plenty of strength and they are in plenty good shape. They do not have the right attitude to push people around at the line of scrimmage. Its hard to watch, I completely agree, but that goes back to who we recruit. High academic, military school offered kids don't possess attitude. Nothing against those kids, but just not how they are raised. O'Shea Dugas carries around the type attitude that it takes. That's just what I see.
Circumstances or presentation -
There is a difference in PRESENTING one's self in a pro-day or combine setting - much like a job interview and I'm not questioning his ability to prep players for that...
''Don't be a bad dagh..."
Ahh -
But doesn't the S &C coach have a lot to do with the mental prep also?
Damon always emphasized the mental aspect of this also
Like I said - color me unimpressed overall
''Don't be a bad dagh..."
I agree. I don't like the fact that most of our defensive players CAN'T SHED BLOCKERS. I've never seen anyone absorb blocks --and stay with 'em-- the way LA Tech's defense does. On many occasions I've seen an opposing RB run right by our defenders --within arms reach-- simply because our defenders are "engaged" with the blocker and seem to think that's the battle to be won instead of simply making the tackle.
Good point. I think UMASS set an all-time record for players going down with injuries during our game this year. UMASS must have had 20 players laying on the turf after a play was over in this years game.
So he could go anywhere in America but he stays at Tech? Is he independently wealthy? As far as who is a fool, Your comments speak for themselves.
Our strength and conditioning is the best in the conference. Our nastiness is not. You see it when they walk out of the locker room. Maybe Hester should make them nastier but HCSH should for certain.
Willie Roaf was not as nasty as Scott Collis because Willie Roaf was a future All-Pro. Scott Collis was just a bad ass.
