Sounds like the narrative is now pretty much the same as it was from Fisher and Sumlin and Sherman and ........
Example of the type of language we are starting to hear now, and we have heard continuously over the last couple of decades (except for maybe two seasons):
This is not a quote from anyone in particular, just what we have become accustomed to hearing post game.
"We did some good things, but mental mistakes, missed opportunities made the game much closer than it should have been (or you could also insert "cost us the game"). We have things we have to get cleaned up, and we will. Just looking for those inches. Players have to make the plays. It is really frustrating."
Why do we start every season using the excuse that our players are still getting used to this coach's system? Other schools have new coaches come in and the team starts rolling the first quarter of the first game. If we do that, we revert back to the team with a vapor locked brain by the end of the first half.
We always have the coach that uses a complicated system that just takes players longer to learn and get accustomed to? That's what we hear. Then when they have a really good game we all think, well there it is, we are about to take off, and the very next week they revert to being the team riding the short bus.
What in the hell is going on. Why can't our players learn a system, and play ball? We cannot continue to use the excuse that our players are still trying to learn the system. That just makes us look worse.
Bowling Green was the fourth game of the season, and we looked totally unprepared, especially on defense. We were, for the most part, completely out-coached on both sides of the ball. We just out-classed them with athleticism, and that gap is not what it used to be pre-transfer portal. In the 1980's and 1990's we were not consistently out-coached, but if we were we may still win by 30 points. That's not going to happen in today's college football.
This program has a problem. When you win a game and feel bad about it and have limited confidence in looking at the next game, why do we continue to experience this. What is the factor that causes Texas A&M Football to continue to be in this ditch?
