Inexcusable amount of penalties, coaches are not to blame.

Most of these athletes have been playing football, or another sport, since elementary school. By now, they know the rules and should be disciplined players. The Corey Flagg comments says more about the players than coaches. Why are players needing to taught or coached in practice self discipline or self control? Self discipline is one of the basics of any sportlearned during youth football, basketball, soccer, tennis, swimming, etc. Sure self discipline should be addressed and emphasized during practice. Blame coaches for play calling, game planning, preparation, communication, knowledge of rules, etc. If players were too "hyped"or "shook", etc., (which could happen in this rivalry game) more experienced players should have stepped in and calmed players nerves. Undisciplined penalties, 90% of that responsibility is on players. Just my opinion.

what gets me is, are division 1 football players really that bad? You've been playing this game all your fcking life ffs. You don't see this in division 1 or pro basketball. You don't see dudes just doing idiotic things like just sitting in the lane getting 3 seconds called back to back to back

Coaching staff is supposed to TEACH / COACH / INSTILL DISCIPLINE .. that is what is supposed to be taking place in practices. They PRACTICE at half speed and undisciplined .. and that's the way they play. POORLY COACHED FOOTBALL TEAM. Well coached teams play without penalties.

There’s no accountability. When players are allowed to skate in practice they do this in games
 
Disagree. Mental mistakes are equally on the coaches. It’s a habit that either is broken in practice or is allowed. If allowed, it flows over to games. Any sport demands physical but also mental preparation and that’s where an experienced HC delivers. Manolo demands neither..
 
Those 2 late hit flags were BS, the ball-carriers were still in bounds when they got hit, and the ref didn't blow the whistle yet.

Sorry but thoroughly disagree with you FMCANE. Then why have coaches ? Players should just play without coaches? Over the past several years UM football teams have been flagged for more penalties than probably any team in the country. It starts at the top and allowing this behavior to continue is the root of the problem

It is the end of the season, if a player is this undisciplined, something more wrong than coaching. The numerous penalties during 1st quarter has not happened all year. Maybe this game was too big, for some on the team? How does coaching staff address this issue? Sports counseling, sports therapists; Yoga to relieve sports anxiety, performance anxiety, improve focus, etc. Maybe athletic department utilizes these therapies, I don't know? Anyone know if the do? If athletic department does not, then athletic department should be blamed. I know this area falls under coaching umbrella; however, the entire athletic department should be preparing athletes for this event stage, including athletes themselves.

Bottom line is we are at 5 losses on the year. Averaging 5 losses a year per manny’s time here.

Mannys record is like 19-15. Is that not enough to get fired? Maybe the BoT is waiting on a 6 or 7 loss season which may even come this year.
