"We'll try to do a better job there" - KF

[HawkU]

"Try" is an interesting word - especially coming from a head coach of a B1G Ten football program. It speaks volumes of his mindset.

“I warn you: a winning stance is never achieved by trying. I hear some say, ‘I will try as hard as I can.’ Trying is for losers. Trying implies the possibility of losing. ‘I will try to win. I will try not to lose.’ If after trying they have lost, well they tried, did they not? Losers always try. Winners never try. Winners only win.” ~~ Gerry Spence

But you know what he means is "we'll keep doing the same thing, and hopefully it works better next game".

I agree he is right.

Its safe to bet that KF speaks one way to the media and quite another way to the team

I fixed it for you

I find it odd that one of Yoda's most quoted lines isn't in yoda-speak.

Yeah, sure he does.

We'd like to think he does, but the results say otherwise.

That is a really lame comment from KF. The comment should be "We will play better"

Feel free to provide some evidence of why you feel "it's safe to bet".

^^ Listen to this guy. I've got an awesome video which makes it clear that KF is one of the best motivators in the business. Pay close attention to the golf clap. It really gets me excited for the next 10 years of KIRKBALL.

It's a great venue! Woo Hoo!

This is actually true. KF uses the F word like every other word sometimes. It adds a whole new dimension.

I am sure he is hard on the team and praises them as well behind closed doors. I remember someone posting on here that they had heard this from insiders. I do wish he would be more animated on the sidelines during games and let his players be a little more animated.

Instead he is so non-excited during games and the team sometimes looks short on being pumped up.

I hate to say this but, that was cringe worthy.
