by the players than the coaches imo. It's like people never played the game or something. No matter how players preform, people think it's all cause of coaching.

Like if a player literally fumbles the ball/game away, people still still say, The head coach should have taught ball security! Even though the coaches hammer that point and practice it every practice. Or people will say well then it's still the coaches fault for recruiting that guy who fumbled! It gets absurd sometimes.

Also without going into detail, there have been a few bad individual performances by players in certain games that have been pined on coaching when in reality the bad performance had more do to with poor choices the player made off the field before the game which then affected his performance in the game.

Yes the coaches have been a main reason we have lost certain games this year, like the Boise State game for instance. But games like the one against Nevada are more on the players in my opinion. The players made losing plays, not winning plays in the second half, and that's on them.

Maybe we dont want to get into the habit of blaming young kids, so we shift the blame on to the coaches too much, I don't know. But if I was a player, the competitor in me would hate for my poor performance to be shifted onto the coaches. I would want the credit for making good plays and the responsibility for the bad plays.

losing the lead to nevada is on players and coaches alike, but more on the players in my opinion and I think they'd agree.
