    I don't even have to read the article to know this is a pile of dog$*** there is no such thing as "well this one game lead to a bad next year". As with anything in life, you should never get to high or too low on these wins and losses. Youre either better than that team or you're not. That's why you lace em up

    Your mental state makes a huge difference. These SBC teams have similar athletes. Attitude and coaching.

    Nope. Even our bowls were all predominantly our fans and our athletes. The SDSU game was the most prominent game of stellar athletic play. Our WRs snagged everything near them. Our defense, with fans pushing them, pressured Lindley and shut down their super RB. Blaine heroically led that final drive. And Brett took advantage of a stemming penalty to edge SDSU. I do think Hud had more confidence in our players back in year 1. We played a much more balanced offense. And in our bowls, for whatever reason (probably the dominant fans and big stage) our athletes on defense rose to the occasion.

    I don't recall a game that I saw us win the football coaching chess match. It just doesn't come to mind.

    I think that's the rub. It has been on a steady decline, and with it goes the team.

    He out coached Patrino when he was at WKU.

    Mey, it doesn't have to be a chess match to out-coach (or be out-coached by) your opponent.

    If we are going to assign him blame for the losses, then he gets credit for coaching in wins. He out coached the other guy 42 times at UL.

    I don't think that's the issue. It's when has his coaching elevated the team's performance above it's apparent talent level? When has he done more with less? Ever? I think three of the 4 bowl wins he did. But after that the pickens are slim. And in many cases he had his pants pulled down by the other coach on national TV. I'm not sure why he coaches so well in the bowl games....outclassing 3 teams that were arguably better than us, but can't do it during the regular season, or really come even close.

    It's my analogy Turbine! I make the rules! LOL

    Seriously, I consider the sum total of coaching, in all respects, to be a football "chess" strategy for winning football games. So, if you've been "out-coached"... you have lost the "football chess match". In my use of those terms, there is no wiggle room. I am saying that when it comes to coaching... there are displays of coaching skills at every game that are either better or worse than the opponent. Every single down. And PS... every athlete on a team is there by permission of the coaching staff.

    If this team was 4-1, there wouldn't be stories about the slide.
