I AM TIRED

***** I AM TIRED OF COACHES BEING GLORIFIED AND CRUCIFIED. THE OLD COACH IS EITHER THE BEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD OR WORSE THAN A SECOND DIVORCE .

REALLY FOLKS , FACE THE TRUTH ,THE COACH IS NOT THAT BIG A FACTOR . COACH DOES NOT COME INTO PLAY UNLESS THE TALENT LEVEL IS APPROXIMATE .

IT IS ALL ABOUT THE PLAYERS . BEAR BRYANT SAID COLLEGE FOOTBALL IS 98 % RECRUITING . IT IS THE SITUATION THAT CREATES THE COACH  NOT THE COACH WHO MAKES THE SITUATION .

NEED SOME PROOF ? TAKE A LOOK AT FOUR PROGRAMS OVER A THIRTY YEAR PERIOD.

MEMPHIS : 7 COACHES , NONE WON 10 GAMES IN A SEASON , NONE LEFT THE SCHOOL WITH A WINNING RECORD , TEAM WON 39 % IN TIME FRAME . IT IS NOT THE COACH ,IT IS MEMPHIS .

KENTUCKY : 7 COACHES , NONE WON 10 GAMES IN A SEASON , NONE LEFT THE SCHOOL WITH A WINNING RECORD , TEAM WON 42% IN TIME FRAME .

ALABAMA : 7 COACHES SINCE BEAR  , ALL WON 10 GAMES AT LEAST ONCE , ALL LEFT WITH A WINNING RECORD . TWO WON NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS , TEAM WON 68% . BAMA IS BAMA NO MATTER WHO THE COACH IS .

MIAMI : IN A 28 YEAR RUN MIAMI HAD 5 COACHES , ALL HAD WINNING RECORDS , ALL WON 10 GAMES A YEAR , 4 WON NATIONAL CHAMPS , SCHOOL WON 80% OF GAMES .

BUT THEN A SEA CHANGE OCCURRED , BOOSTERS CAMPBELL & SHARPIRO WERE NO LONGER ALLOWED TO BUY PLAYERS . THE CANES HAVE BEEN BARELY ABOVE 50 % SINCE .

SEE , MAYBE THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTOR IN BECOMING A SUCCESSFUL COACH IS WHERE YOU GET A COACHING JOB .

IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE YOUR PROGRAM , CHANGE PLAYERS NOT COACHES .

IF YOU WANT TO GO IN A DIFFERENT DIRECTION YOU NEED TO FIND DIFFERENT PLAYERS TO TRAVEL WITH .

****** THE BEST THING ABOUT THE GOOD YEAR HUGH FREEZE IS HAVING , IS THAT IT PROVES THERE ARE MANY HIGH SCHOOL COACHES WHO COULD DO THE JOB IF THEY HAD AN OPPORTUNITY.

DON'T GET CARRIED AWAY WITH COACHES . THESE BOYS WERE NOT THE BRIGHTEST IN THE CLASS . NOT MANY WERE CANDIDATES FOR MED SCHOOL . ABOUT THE ONLY THING THEY KNOW ABOUT FINANCE IS HOW TO SPEND  MONEY .

MOST COACHES ARE GUYS WHO COULD NOT PLAY AT THE NEXT LEVEL SO THEY BECAME COACHES .

A GENIUS IN FOOTBALL IS THE GUY WITH THE FASTEST PLAYERS

****** I AM TIRED OF PEOPLE THINKING THE SPREAD OFFENSE IS THE CURE FOR ALL THE OFFENSIVE PROBLEMS .

THEY SAY " LET'S GET IN THAT SPREAD AND PLAY SOME WIDE OPEN FOOTBALL ."

ALL THEY ARE GOING TO DO IS GET THE SHINOLA BEAT OUT OF THEM . WHY ON EARTH WOULD YOU WANT TO PLAY FAST AGAINST FASTER PEOPLE ?

IF I HAVE TO COMPETE AGAINST USAIN BOLDT , I 'M NOT GOING TO SUGGEST WE FOOT RACE . HOW ABOUT WE SUDOKU  USAIN ?

YOU DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO TO HAVE A CHANCE TO WIN .

****** I AM SO TIRED OF SHOTGUN FOOTBALL THAT I AM THINKING OF JOINING THE AMISH OR THE INDIANS . MY DAD LIVED A WHILE WITH THE INDIANS IN THE 1940'S . I WONDER IF THEY WOULD TAKE ME .

I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED CHEROKEE . I DON'T THINK THE BRAVES ARE REAL OBSESSED WITH WINNING . IF THE FISH ARE BITING PRACTICE CAN WAIT TO LATER .

AND SOME DAYS IT IS JUST TOO HOT FOR FOOTBALL ,JUST GIVE IT A DAY OR SO AND THE WEATHER WILL BREAK .

I COULD BE RIGHT THERE IN THE MOUNTAINS SITTING ON THE BANKS OF THE LITTLE RIVER THAT RUNS JUST BACK OF THE END ZONE OF BRAVES' STADIUM .

 WE WOULD BE RUNNING THE OLD MEDINA G - TOSS PLAY , & STOPPING EVERY NOW AND THEN SO THE PLAYERS CAN GET A COKE & A SMOKE . OLD COACH ROCK COULD HAVE A MOON PIE .

UNTIL THEN !!!!!!!!!!!!!
