Even people (not pointing to anyone in particular on here) who know it’s coach speak will still get 100% emotionally invested in every word 😂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, and fans loved Harsins hard, alpha male persona, and his attention to personal accountability and responsibility from his team. Many compared his alpha approach to Dye at the time. Fans get caught up in the euphoria, it can’t be helped. My question is why didn’t anyone recognize alignments were off and platers weren’t lining up correctly in the scrimmages or practices? I’d bet it’ll be fixed and fine tuned before they get to Cali. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember the last few coaches pointing out obvious deficiencies in a game or stating something like HF did about not preparing the team for an uncovered receiver. I don't remember a coach since Tubbs and Dye listing the good and the bad and discussing them. About players and coaches. It seemed totally different for me , and the antithesis of sunshine pumping from a head coach at AU. But I've only listened to 7 of them in my time, so whatever. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First game are always rough, new coaches and players still figuring things out. They weren't going to be a fine tuned machine from their fist game and I'm sure Freeze and the coaching will get it done. But I'm waiting until it actually happens on the field instead of getting fired up from a presser personally 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnacle 9,129 Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 I don't think what he said was "coach speak." I'm sure it was unpleasant. Seems like a minimum expectation that kids know when and where to line up. I think he was just being honest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had 11 starters and everyone else who played, except the one Baylor transfer, on defense that have never played a game in this scheme before. Instead of a 2 year starter at corner, Pritchett who was hurt, we started a true freshman K.Lee. We started 3 other guys on d who have never before played in JHS. The good news is it was all caught on tape, and I suspect corrected already. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was optimistic but as soon as the first game was played out, I witnessed the same lack of accountability and mistakes. I gave him the latitude to rectify those but it never happened. In the end, you are what you allow as a leader. His talk was just that. All hat and no cattle. Edited September 5, 2023 by Chaotic_zx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
