Defensive Assistant Coaching Situation

[GrosseTete Cajun]

Man, if that was my only "concern", then I would be OK too!

How will Haack play as a starter?
Who steps up in Juice and Ringo's spots?
How will Jamal look when he returns?
Who will spell the Prophet?

Lots of good ?s. I guess the one about Haack will get answered if Davis gets hurt. I hope he makes it through the year w/out injury though and we never find out.

Good Players make Good Coaches !!

Statements like this really bother me.

Look at the upper echelon of college football. Do you really believe the top 10 college football teams are there only because they have so much talent? I believe the "Coaches" have far more influence on winning than do "Good Players". Without a good coaching staff you can have the best players in the country and not win. All you have to do is look 50 (Mile's) to the east to see a team with all the "Good Players" a coach would ever want as a prime example of that. In fact, they lost the last 4 out of 6 bowl games. Do you really believe their losses were solely due to not having enough "Good Players"????

It's been my experience that "Good Coaches" create "Good Players" in all sports. Not the other way around. Talented athletic players are a nice luxury for "Good Coaches". A truly "Good Coach" can take the talent he has and create "Good Players".

Do really you think Hud turned our program around solely because he received an immediate influx of talented players? Bustle never won more than 6 games and never had a winning season as a head coach. Do you think that was because he just lacked "Good Players"?

Simply put, Hud is one of those coaches that can take an ordinary player and turn him into a better player. I just hope we can give Hud the resources to find and keep "Good Coaches". With "Good Coaches" you'll have "Good Players".

The teams that get the top talent...and have a reasonably of sound mind and body coach (Les Miles can do it...anyone can)...are the teams at the top of the standings at year end.

You think Notre Dame won the Music City Bowl because they had more talent? Really?

Speaking of players, this is a risky time of year to shuffle the deck.

Though, this is the time of year when it usually happens. It will work itself out.

Did you see the Notre Dame quarterback? Did you see the LSU quarterback. Did you see the ref blow the LSU touchdown to end the half.

Quit proving your ignorance.
