Different Coaching styles and the need for TIME MACHINES

[fanof71]

. . . Nah, it was none of those guys, it was because they slept together in a dorm . . .

Now you've gone and done it....

You sure it didn’t have anything to do with Torrence, Mitchell, Hunt, Brown or Dotson? I mean I would think that those OL wearing out defenses made winning tight games easier.

Two things can be true at once.

Two things can be true at once.

Let’s make it 3 and 4 things then.

3. OL Injuries prior to the season all but derailed our chances before we even started.

4. Desormeaux coached us out of W’s against ULM and South Al. We weren’t prepared for Rice or USM.

2 losses during in game management and 2 we just weren’t ready to play.

. . . if only he had the benefit of real time in game management from RP . . .

All true and you can add the lack of discipline in Des’ team compared to those of Napier. It was blatantly obvious. Discipline is all about doing the little things. Where do you develop discipline? The offseason and training camp. But our coach knew better than his predecessor and his predecessors mentor. It must be nice to know more than Saban on how to run training camp before you’ve coached your first college game.

I’ll be interested to see how camp will be ran this year.

. . . not that again . . .

So, what happened to Napier’s year 1 . . .

You know maybe, just maybe, Des is teaching kids how to become responsible adults. Not controlling every single moment of their day.

The same thing that happened last year.

They didn’t sleep in the dorm?

Also to add, Torrence and Brown transferred out and were both all Americans at their respective levels . Them plus Waites were 2-3 OL starters lost before any of the OL injuries to others

So, what happened to Napier’s year 1 . . .

Napier took over a locker room that Hud had completely lost control of. He had to create a completely new cULture in there. I’m sure you saw some of the videos that were that leaked out. Des took over a program with great cULture and process in place.

I do realize that losing the number of players he did contributed to the wins and loses. But losing players had nothing to do with obvious lack of discipline that team displayed often last year.
