I am done with this coaching staff. They can’t even get me excited for the next game much less the players. None of the players looked like they were pumped to be there. I want to see the coaching staff make a statement that if you don’t perform, you will be replaced on the field during practice or during the game. Listen, when Coker is 100%, I still want to see a change of pace back to get 25% of the carries if to do nothing else but to give Coker a rest. Ferentz shoots that down because you have to give blood for two to three years in order to get in the lineup. If they were good enough to recruit and be given a free scholarship, they are good enough to take the field if they have skills that can help the team. How many of our backs right now could run up the middle or cut back for NO gain just like Coker did because he was so tired and sore from getting over used the last few weeks?
I also can’t stand the argument that we lost like 9 players or whatever to the NFL. We only lost one to NFL, the rest graduated so those players are a natural part of what every program goes thru and we should be prepared for each of them with talent behind them. The only reason for that not to happen is if we lose kids thru attrition at a remarkable rate…and that is most likely the situation because no one will get to play unless we are in utter despair due to injuries. That is not an excuse yet Ferentz always brings that up during his interviews. He needs to take the blame instead of passing it down to the players all the time saying “they just need to executeâ€. That ultimately comes back to you coach yet in the last couple of years, you have been more willing to try and point the finger elsewhere. I don’t like his nonchalant smart *** retorts to all the questions that the press has been asking him lately. He gets ****** at anyone (even Jon) when they ask a question about the challenges that even the everyday fan\follower of the game can easily discern.
There are way too many things going wrong with this program right now and it is easy to see when most of the posters or fans in general can make such acute observations about the game plan or his lack in attitude or the way our recruiting is hurting or even the lack of consistency from the coaching ranks to keep the players engaged. I am almost at the point where I can start to see the players are exactly buying into what the coach is trying to sell the team. They look unsure as to what to do or how to do it. They even look afraid at times to take a chance. That all comes back to the coaching and you would have to go quite a ways with your argument to point me in another direction.
I can only pray at this point that the coaching staff finds the stress or lack of success to much to bare in these remaining 8 years of his contract so that the program can get a another chance at life with some new blood. We are a dying program and I hope that a new heart is enough to bring us back before we are left by this coaching staff for dead. We all LOVE our Hawks and want so desperately for them to succeed. The football program is so much bigger than anyone or any coaching staff that is why I feel really good if we could get another group in here I would be confident that we could succeed. I feel bad for the players and just want what these players deserve. The right to go out trying to win no matter what. Let them all try and show their talent on the field and if they don’t have any, what’s there to lose by trying? We lose by a little or lose by a lot? I think that is all we played for today!
