2015 College Football Chatter

Spav is learning on the job, he was a GA only 5 years ago. I guess it makes sense both teams I follow have to go through their OCs not knowing what the fuck they're doing


We definitely miss KK, he's a great OC

If a QB can learn an offense in a year, why the hell would it take him 5?

It is more about learning how to implement the offense, teach it, correct problems, meld drills with what you do, control the flow of the game, personnel decisions and stuff like that.

It takes an elementary teacher for years of college to teach second graders.

If tech can score some points and put pressure on OU they will quickly
abandon the run. That gives us a great advantage. Pressure will be needed in order for that plan to work.

OU would be stupid to not try to control the game with the run.

If they want to play the passing/scoring game then it is either teams game to win. You'd still have to give OU the edge because Norman, the crowd and the home magic that is often created there.

It takes an elementary teacher four years of college to teach second graders.

I get that, but aren't we referring to using note cards to call plays? Sure it takes time to become a great coach. But it shouldn't take that long to learn a playbook effectively which is what we are talking about.

I thought the note cards thing was tongue in cheek.

Maybe not...

Yes Spav uses index cards for his playsheet, maybe it's ok to do it that way but it makes me cringe everytime I notice it.

I wonder if he has the plays drawn out on the cards so he can see them like you do in Madden.

We did that. All coaches had the plays and drawn up and laminated on a ring. Not all of them but the base plays.

If there's a problem you've got right there and can teach it/show kids exactly where they are going and what their duties are.

Rivalries are a fundamentally fantastic function of college sports. Usually, it's simply between two longstanding logos, but rivalries between individuals are even sweeter.
Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield and Texas Tech head coach Kliff Kingsbury have a history with each other for their unexpected union in 2013, which makes for a fascinating storyline. But, of course, neither of them can play along during their weekly press conferences.

“That whole talk is something I'm gonna stay away from this week,” Kingsbury said. “I'll focus on the game and two really good teams going at it.”
“Just another game,” Mayfield said with a smirk.

But, is it? Of course not. There are much higher personal stakes riding on this game. Who you beat, or who beat you,. becomes much more important than ever before. Especially if you feel like your were personally wronged by your opponent in the past.

There's no reason for Mayfield to resist human nature when spending this week seeking retribution against the Red Raider head coach who looks like Ryan Gosling, but sounds like Matthew McConaughey.

This is not just another game. This is Mayfield's chance to best his former coach, who's fate and respect he had to earn two years ago when he walked onto the team and climbed the depth chart to become the first walk-on freshman starting quarterback in major college football. That coach, who's indecision on the starting position leading into the 2013 Holiday Bowl left him so insulted he left the program all together rather than play out through the competition to see who get the nod against the 10-win Arizona State Sun Devils. Ironically one month after wearing a uniform during a Big 12 football game that literally had “NEVER QUIT” plastered all over his helmet and jersey.

After Mayfield spent an entire year rapidly rising through the ranks, while slaving through all of the hours with none of the scholarship money, only to be strong-armed out of a year of eligibility by Kingsbury for choosing to transfer to another school, seeking revenge would be an understandable motivator.

“It’s human nature to try to get revenge,” Mayfield said. “That’s just how everybody works.”

What kinda fag is offered the opportunity start in the Holiday Bowl but declines because his feelings are hurt about having to compete? I guess it was good because Webb destroyed the ASU secondary for 403.

Revenge clouds the mind and hinders your thought process. It also makes you do things you would not otherwise consider doing. It's a wasted emotion.

What kind of a fag coach opens a QB competition right before the biggest game of the year?

 

[Jiggyfly]

I remember back in the good days when jiggy argued hard about this Kingsbury stuff and how Sumlin was the spread mastermind. Lol

We were basically told that nothing changed and production just kept on going.

The production did keep on going what the hell have you been watching, the QB had a bad game and is young.

I never said they would not miss Kliff it was you acting like he was the key to everything, the offense has continued to be at the top of the SEC what exactly are you going on about?

 

[Jiggyfly]

Allen did alot better when we stuck with going tempo more but it's hard for Spav since he has the plays on notecards instead of a normal playsheet. He just can't shuffle the deck that fast

I think the biggest problems are the o-line is not as strong as it was and Allen is not great at running the offense yet, he just needs to be more consistent.

I agree OL is part of it, also not having a faster rb with White being injured isn't helping either.

Yeah the RB position has fallen way off I can't believe they have not recruited better for that spot.

If he's already checked out from the team, then it would have done no good to him or his teammates to play.

 

[skidadl]

What kind of a fag coach opens a QB competition right before the biggest game of the year?

A coach on a 5 game losing streak, A coach with two true freshman quarterback's fighting against each other, a coach who has no clear winner out of those two throughout the season, a coach looking for some kind of a spark from somewhere.

With two true freshman QBs that are constantly turning the ball over or hurt things get dicey.

 

[skidadl]

If he's already checked out from the team, then it would have done no good to him or his teammates to play.

I don't need answers or reason. I just need to make sure that is is clear that he quit because he didn't want to compete. He's not a victim of circumstances. He didn't get done wrong. He underperformed and was asked to compete. Daddy got real mad and called his buddy on staff at OU and Baker was welcomed with open arms. This story about OU coach not talking to him beforehand is a lie.
