Coach Hard Work on Joe Rose

If he plays Emory, fans will be fine.... they have seen TVD barf all over the field and know what to expect.
I will say that IF Emory ends up a 4 year starter, I can understand Mario trying to get a 5th year from him by shirting him. Personally, I think the cost is just too much to the program and momentum now that we have 9-0 FSU, 8-1 UL, 6-3 BC ahead. If we are going 6-6 and Emory gives us a better chance at 7-5, you have to start him. I also think we bring in 2 portal QBs giving us 4 QBs next year. Prefer 1 senior and 1 with 3 years to play. Heck, I would handle QB with numbers much like UGA, Michigan, Bama, OSU. Don't even care if we have three 3* QBs so long as the traits are good in the room of 6 QBs.

Even Dawson’s screen passes all look horrendous - always look 2 inches from being picked off

When you line up a blocking Te in trips bunch or flex him to Y and motion a Wr to his side you basically telegraph the play to the
Defense. They know he's not a threat to catch the ball. 9 times out of 10 he's there to block for a screen. Screens ain't gone work when the Defense knows they're coming.

Our most successful screen was to Colbie Young with Restrepo lead blocking. Why? Cause Defense didn't know it was coming. Why ? Because both are a legitimate threat to actually make something happen, and you have to account for it and can't key in on 1 thing.

Edit: spelling.

The same way Michigan fans warned us about Gattis was the same way the people in Oregon warned about Cristobal, but our fans just called them haters. Mario is barely above .500 for his career and has never had anything close to an explosive offense. He has no coaching prowess...unless you want to count oline.
Whats crazy is we laughed at multiple fans who didnt listen to us in reverse when we warned them like houston with Dorito, but our ego or homerism blinded us that the reverse can also be true. Everything they said has been shown the last couple years. shrugs.
 
I admire hard work. I’ve worked my *** off all my life. That being said, hard work will only take you so far. It has to be aimed at the right things. Things that will improve yourself and those affected by your hard work.
Someone needs to point out to him he needs to work hard and work smart, without biase.

Any cliff notes?
I’m not a big fan of most of what he said today but honestly, I actually thought I heard a non-answer answer about not discussing personnel which leads me to believe that they are potentially having no choice but to discuss personnel, but I’m just not going to say anything early.

I didn’t really think they would but if I had to guess, I think the odds are better than 50-50 that Tyler is suddenly going to be announced, has really banged up and not somebody else is going to get the start, but we won’t find out till game day or late in the week.

Even the ministry of magic guy had to eventually acknowledge that Voldemort was back.
 
you can do a lot of harm to a kids confidence that young by sending him into a buzz saw like that.
FSU is an excellent team ( not remotely all time) but they are in no way a buzzsaw. Clemson’s defense is better.

Miami is way better in the trenches assuming the offensive line comes out to play and doesn’t quit.

Ancient Greeks coined the phrase "Perfect practice makes perfect performance." Lombardi popularized it more recently. Yet it often gets degraded into "practice makes perfect."

Bad practice repped repeatedly only makes bad habits. Working hard should inherently require working smart, otherwise you're just wasting time and resources.

Mario saying he's working hard means nothing without actual insight into what that entails, but the results on the field indicate it's not smart effective work.

Actions speak louder.

Where is self scouting and evaluation? Where is evaluation of current coaches, coordinators and position groups? Where are changes and adjustments based on film study and external scouting? Are they even holding player competition in practice?

Nothing is changing week to week for the last 5 weeks, what is he working on? Is he just referring to recruiting?? That seems to be the only thing hitting consistently (obviously not great this year, but comparatively speaking).
Even the 10 years 10K reps crap is fake. Deliberate practice >> practice. Gladwell screwed up the actual science behind the 10K hours stuff. That was of deliberate practice, with an elite coach, and you already are an elite talent. Not for John E Numbnuts
 
Was he talking about Miami football or another bukkake session?

Can't be, cause we coating dem hoe$ in sugar fasho.

The noise is getting louder to sit that headcase--good! Our offense is a national embarrassment and should rightfully be panned. You put Emory in for all 4 quarters. He has a few bad drives, fine, live with it. He'll be less green for it afterwards.

No more downs for Van *****.
You learn from your mistakes in regards to Emory....
Kosar
Kelly
Dorsey ALL were thrown into the fire, and it all turned out fine.

He did fine vs that Buzz Saw Clemson down by 10 points late in the 2nd half....
Kosar 1st start was getting pummeled by UF in 83....
Dorseys 1st (coming in for an injured KK) lost to VT in 1999....
Kelly in his 1st start vs Penn St Wins in Happy Valley in 1979....We are Bowl Eligible as is....another Win isn't going to put us in a New Years day game. I say F-it....and let Emory start.
 
Throwing $$$ at a problem more often than not, doesn’t solve said problem. Getting to the root cause will have much more success.
I agree. But I feel that people are being a little too emotional right now.

The way I see it, we are one qb away from being a high quality cfb program. Unfortunately, I feel that Mario’s definition of an elite qb may not include one that can also run. And statue qb’s do not do well in today’s game unless their initials are TB.

Winning is an addiction and when it gets taken away we get dope sick. Bama fans were begging for Saban to retire and they have one loss but aren’t winning the way they’re used too. They’re not getting the premium dope that they usually get and are getting the itchy skin and nausea.

So despite the fact that we may or may not be one qb away from being better it doesn’t answer a lot of important questions.
One obviously being “why did tvd start and why didn’t he get pulled”?
Two: If you want to be a run based team why are we keeping JB’s shirt. And why are we keeping it and not allowing him to play at all. Dawson said “unless it’s an emergency”. Well I would consider throwing to wide open defensive backs a fckng emergency.

Clemson has a defense full of 4-5 stars. elite athletes.
TVD honestly doesnt deserve pity. he flirted with bama, shook us down for NIL, and he's trash.
TVD might be less able to handle FSu than Emory. hes damaged goods. no coming back.
