Coach Stubblefield, WR coach...

HighSeas said:
Maybe you missed the part where he led off saying you can teach how and where to place hands. Or the part where he said some of it is mental (not most).

He basically says WRs have to be confident in their technique to be natural at catching the ball as opposed to panicking and being reactive to the ball without a plan. Which is exactly the kind of things the actual football players who actually study the game have been arguing. It's not unique to football or catching - confidence in technique is what leads to strong mental game in putting, free throw shooting, whatever.

But it makes sense that a stubborn individual who refuses to learn would totally misinterpret quotes and filter them to fit their own preconceived notions.

The bolded part is exactly what you are doing right now. You were proven wrong by Miamis own WR coach. Now be a man, take your L, and keep it moving. You learn were to place your hands in middle school.

He was brought in as a tactician. Not as a Twitter savant. I expect and I'm sure Manny and Enos expect our WRs to run crisp beautiful routes next year. If not, he'll be replaced.

Bruh you're taught placement in Optimist and if you're a receiver you get thousands of passes most of which to get used to the ball so it'll be reflexes. Now ive been saying for weeks it's mental and if they strugglw with that it's on them a coach can't hold your hands durinf a game just like a cb if hw gets beat you mentally move on, a lineman whp gave up a sack by missing a blitz you see your mistake and move on etc thats mental and a coach can teach you until he's blue in the face but when the lights are on you're a player make it work

No D1 receiver should require meaningful instruction on how to catch the ball.

Refine technique, build up grip strength? Sure?

Being taught how to catch the ball? What's next, learning how to lace up cleats?

It's an inherent physical talent--you either have it or you don't.

What's hilarious is last year most of the people on this board absolutely detested when our players tweeted & some of yall were even blaming them being on social media as to why we were losing games.

Now Twitter has become some kinda litmus test for how good a coach is or isn't lol

What a difference a few months makes...

People suck don't they.

Also this dude is from Purdue. Lets be honest. If he was not a little weird that would be weird.

Now can he teach our kids to catch and run routes as opposed to rolling around in the donk? That remains to be seen.

SIGN ROSEMY.

Oh just give it time.... if he starts missing on big commits, then vultures will circle. If Rumph was coaching at Purdue and came down to coach corners, expectations would not have been as high. Rumph however came from coaching a huge local school so it was expected (right or wrong) that certain kids would follow, they didn't and then other "signing day kids" local or not, did not pick us so he got the blame...
 
I would say he does come off as kind of a nerd. Honestly though, I don't care about any of that. I want the receivers to be able to get open and catch the ball. I find 90% of the stuff these grown men do on Twitter to be absolutely ridiculous. I don't need to see dudes in their 40's and 50's pretending to be teenagers. When I was younger I always thought those types of guys where the corniest. Kids know when you're fake.

Did this motherfcker just start a thread critiquing a coach’s hipness based on a couple tweets? Tell me this pneumonia has me hallucinating.

All this dude has to do is not be a cancer on the staff like the last guy and recruit a lot better than he ever has in his life.

lol seems like one of those things might be slightly easier than the other...

This. Kids have some pretty good built in BS detectors.

So he's not a witty guy on twitter. He admits it. Big whoop.

If he can turn our WR's hands into glue and learn proper route running I really don't care.

Willie Taggert knows how to use twitter. :/

OP, please, please post your twitter handle to show us all how it's done. I'd like to see the Page 4 treatment done to you.

Incorrect. So many D1 WR were simply better athletes and talents than their competition and never learned or focused on the details. Go watch their HS tape. Its actually often hard to tell who is actually good and who was just playing against dog crap competition

This is true, but doesn't apply here. Obviously some kids can just blaze past the DBs or are so much taller/can jump higher that they can just high point every ball, but If they can't catch the ball in high school they aren't going to get D1 offers.
