The thing that's funny to me is how many people believe position coaches

They teach technique: how to get by a jam, how to read a defense, how to run

By and large, teams with better players win practically every game

Chris Petersen is really the only consistent example I can think of in recent CFB

& this is year 3 of his tenure at UW. His first recruiting class are now upperclassmen. No surprise this is his best

Peterson went 50-3 w/ Kellen Moore. He went 42-9 without him. That's a .824 win pct w/out Moore which is outstanding

It is, but it isn't winning the Oklahoma games anymore

True, but he's showing he knows how to get good players. He got enough to Boise to be successful.

SpiffCoug

9/30/16 12:58am

Really? He won another New Year's Day game against AZ

DetmerForever

Nope. That was after him

Right but the vast majority of those wins were against bottom feeder WAC teams

9/30/16 1:05am

BSU, Baylor, TCU, Kansas State, Michigan State, NDSU, but #1 by far is Navy

I am convinced Petersen is a better judge of HS talent than most

This very well could be true

He's good, but it was DC Justin Wilcox that found Kellen Moore and had to

Totally agree. My post was agreeing with the OP. Talent trumps everything

I think o-line coach can make a pretty big difference

That's truer in bball than in football, though.

Football play calling is a chess match, coaches matter way more

Yeah, I definiitely didn't agree with everything Poppinga said, but one thing

For all his personality via twitter & in speeches, player interviews

Wow. Great analysis. You should re post this

I guess I will. Thanx. Your fault if I'm run out on a rail!

Interesting. I don't really know that much about it, and I'm sure you could be

I haven't seen enough of Cahoon's product this year to form an opinion.

mantis mutu

9/30/16 7:05am

I couldn't disagree more. It's all about your position coaches.

I've coached a bit. I believe there is a balance, but I'll tell you what,

SoutheastIdaCoug

9/30/16 7:44am

Two things. Urban and Nick Saban aren't position coaches so let's stay on

Zach Morris

9/30/16 7:46am

Most probably don't but some do

Poppinga actually played the game. Why would he make up such a detail? He

spoxjox

9/30/16 7:49am

You think Coach Cahoon is teaching guys to drop passes where Holliday coached

Zach Morris

9/30/16 7:57am

Of course not. No coach intentionally teaches failure. But to dismiss Poppinga's

Please note that I'm not saying I agree with Poppinga. I DISAGREE with the easy

spoxjox

9/30/16 8:19am

Actually, I said "position coaches don't really make THAT big of a difference"

Zach Morris

9/30/16 8:38am

I will say that it's unlikely that Cahoon is responsible for dropped passes.

CougarBreath

How about the poor routes?

OC Coug

9/30/16 7:55am

I couldn't say.

So the biggest asset is on the recruiting trail.... so how are we better off

OC Coug

Can't answer that. Take that one up with Kalani and Tom Holmoe.

so are you saying position coaches can be very important now?

They can be good motivators and inspirers, but yes onus is on the player

100% agree (when it comes to cahoon/drop discussion)
