Coaching question
Granted, the team just doesn't have much talent. However, the players we do have don't seem to be emotionally into the game. I think a great deal of coaching is psychology. How do you get the best from the players you have. I think Bud Foster's best asset was his ability to know how to inspire his players. He inspired the defense which in turn gave the program an image (a hard nosed physical team). We have no image. What kind of team are we and which of our coaches can inspire the players and create an image? Marve seems to be a feisty guy. I was hoping that he could do what Foster did, but I haven't seen it yet. Has anybody heard Marve or Bowen speak? Do they have what we need at this point?

True, but RBs without an Oline? Next they’ll recruit an Oline…without RBs.

I saw the team play hard. I saw emotion on D. I see scheme as the problem.
