Everything in there is damn true
"Under Petrino, something like a cell phone ringing in the offensive meeting room was a major infraction. If Paul Petrino heard a phone ring in one of his meetings, there was no telling what might happen. Forget confiscation, the phone would be lucky to survive, and the player might feel lucky to survive. In the first offensive meeting under Charlie Stubbs, Kragthorpe's new offensive coordinator, a phone rang, and players sat up in their seats, cringing almost reflexively. Stubbs stopped speaking, the phone rang once more before it could be silenced, there was an expectant moment of quiet, then he continued without acknowledging it."

Players derived a great deal of confidence from the offensive game plan. During coaches' meetings, assistants would each propose their "scoring plays" of the week, those they determined would be most likely to break for big gains or scores. When an agreement was reached, they'd tell the team in running through the script of the first 15 or 20 plays, "This is the touchdown play."
The staff was right so many times that players began to believe them when they told them a particular play was going to score. And the offense was so effective that players derived confidence from that. Eric Wood, a center at the time, told me for a story I did for the newspaper, "We just can't wait to see what they have planned every week. You really look forward to seeing the game plan to see what they've found to attack."
That is awesome. Thanks for posting man. Chizik needs to call up Bobby P for the OC job on the double.

Nah. I'm signing off for the night and it would probably not be very productive anyway.
