Players just need to say. "We need to figure some things out and play better."

That mentality, if fostered by the coach, will kill the program from the inside.

Solid handle. They should feel a need to earn loyalty.

Nope, those coaches earn that salary because we love them unconditionally.

Getting whipped 31-0 on national TV isn't reason enough?

It's hard not to agree with this statement. Maybe I haven't paid attention, but

Looks like he adopted Bronco's victim mentality. Poor coach. Poor players.

Harrison0Yfan
