Coach Stubblefield, WR coach...

Liberty City El said:
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...

Just saw this. Interesting that catching the ball came up because I have seen a couple of people going back and forth on here about teaching receivers how to catch, so it was cool to see what he had to say about it. ( starts at 2:00 if you don't want to watch the whole thing)

Wait you mean the actual football players who said that catching is mental mostly and is the easiest thing foe a receiver to do actually know what they're talking about?

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.
 
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

Oh **** Naw, that man think he back in elementary school, no wonder!
 
I think there's way more nuance to coaching WRs than this board seems to accept. At any level. A lean in one direction, a tendency created, foot placement, etc., can haunt a DB's dreams.

Hope this dude can help our guys with some of the finer points, at least. Apart from running in a scheme quicksand, things looked really sloppy toward end of year.

It’s part of the new age of recruiting. It’s no longer about sitting in mommas living room & selling her a dream for her son. It’s about wire transactions & using words like “lit”.

You’re such a smart man, Lu.

I always learn something from your analysis.

My 1 issue with this is I'm pretty sure #TheNewMiami is being said everywhere in our program. If he expects WRs to pay attention in the film room everything he does needs to seem unquestionable. These kids hes coaching have a first impression. I imagine Manny Diaz in the Meeting Room bringing up #TheNewMiami once a sentence. Stubblefield can easily bounce back though if he's focused. People say all he needs to do is coach but recruiting will always count.

Having a twitter personality is part of his job. That’s why Diaz told him to take his *** off private. You might not like that, but lots of people don’t like the transfer portal. Welcome to 2019.

Yep. Why aren’t people a capable of understanding this?

This is a dude who had his Twitter on private. Who hasn’t exactly set the world on fire in recruiting, even relative to the schools he has been at.

Some of us are hoping he wasn’t the problem, and he has the personality to fix it. And that might still be true. But this isn’t exactly the best first impression. If you asked me to describe the personality of someone that hasn’t set the recruiting world on fire, the above tweet stream would be it.
