I really haven't noticed this.

This story only supports it. So the players are performing poorly and you act like an a-hole? Really? If the players are performing badly, that's on you and you need to fix it.
That's how you fix it, though. I mean, when you play a cupcake, you yell and scream to get the teams attention and get them to focus. When you play a tough team, you yell and scream to get them to focus and play above their abilities. It's just what coaches do....and most of the time it is effective. It all depends on how the team reacts to it.

Dude. You have 48 posts. He is giving his opinion. Why do we have to resort to calling names and belittling each other when somebody disagrees with us? make your argument and let your argument stand on its own merits without name calling.

I applaud him for trying to get the most out of his current roster but I'm pretty sure he understands that significant improvement of his teams will only come through improved recruiting. The fact that the Rebel's best receiver, Evan Engram, hails from Power Springs, GA says a lot about how our recruiting has missed on some key players up to this point.

You guys have to remember this is just during the media viewing period...not one of those frickwad reporters knows anything other than the 12 minute window they get to watch practice.
Anyone who played football in at least High School knows that coaches get angry when you frick up...and telling a kid who is fricking up that that is why they are not playing is far from angry...its the truth.
I truly believe that had whoever he was talking to performed better at practice, they would play. He is trying to drive the team. Its what a good coach should do. Nothing got me more pumped when I played high school ball than a high energy coach who beat your arse when you sucked, but would praise the hell out of you when you did good. The reason coaches get angry is because they see the potential and want you to get there...it doesn't happen for some guys with out a fire lit under their arse.
We didn't see all of practice. Take what you read in the media with a grain of salt. Saying Kirby is "in over his head" because of this article is fricking retard level dumb.

There are definitely some things you can complain about as far as recruiting goes. Missing on a guy who was barely a top 1000 player in the nation as far as rankings go is not one of the ways I would go with that.
His best offer behind Ole Miss was either Wake Forest or Air Force. Ole Miss just found a really good player that no other big power 5 team did. Can't put that on Richt IMO.

Jesus H fricking Christ....the next thing you know the NCAA will require a stress card like the military has...
Yes, if players are performing badly traditionally football coaches tend to get a little bit put out by it....and by put out I mean tossing vending machines through windows, making linemen run stadium stairs until they fricking pass out, calling you all sorts of vile names and making comments about your ancestry and about how the best part of you ran down the crack of your mama's arse....this is how football coaches react. I know on TV they seem to be different these days and I am sure they are somewhat but deep down inside they are all mean as hell and full of hate and there ain't enough good you can do to satisfy them....and you love them for it....we saw what cool, calm and collected means in the SEC....we haven't won the conference in a lifetime nearly...but we haven't acted a fool in the process. I hope there ain't a vending machine in Clarke County safe from being tossed out a window or having a desk chair chunked through the front of it....(My high school coach was not a fan of vending machines....)

While I agree, it's not just Ole Miss. Missouri is a perfect example of a program that consistently finds players better than their rankings. IMO we should be attuned to our instate players so well that we are able to identify these type of players. I mean it's not like we don't recruit plenty of 3 star players. We just need to find these hidden gems like Engram; clearly someone recruiting for Ole Miss did......

"This is why you don't play" is pretty fricking tame actually. Encouraging, even. Basically saying that you're good enough to play if you cut out the stupid shite. That's way better than the alternative of not doing stupid shite and still not playing.

In theory, I agree. That's just not very realistic.

You mean like Dominick Sanders?
Some coaches do a very good job of knowing what fits their system like Gary Pinkel and Charlie Strong, and those guys can generally do a very good job of developing talent, regardless of where you get it.
I'm fine with focusing more on in-state guys, but what if that caused us to miss out on someone like Isaiah Mckenzie.
Again, I'm fine with finding these gems of 3-star players, but stats back up that the higher a player is rated the more likely they are to be successful at the collegiate and professional level. I want our team filled with those guys, even if one or two end up being busts.

I guess the question is, which would you rather be? Like Missouri or Ole Miss that do more with less? Or like Alabama and Ohio State that do more with more?
As far as Kirby being pissed, good! He ought to be. Our offensive line is playing soft as shite and our secondary is getting burned left and right. Hopefully the halftime adjustments can carry over to this week but until that point, several players (Catalina, Briscoe) should be running til they puke their guts out. Build some damn toughness

I'll take the ones with National Championships please.
Also, why do some of us have the impression Ole Miss is doing less with more? They've had fantastic recruiting classes recently.
Posted on 9/22/16 at 9:18 am to Dawgsontop34
Yeah that's also very true. They've had huge classes lately (legally or not), and the fact that they have one 3 star who's awesome proves nothing. But I hear a lot that we should be more like Mizzou or others who do less with more. I understand the sentiment is to get the most out of our players, but it's easier to get higher returns out of 5 stars than 3 stars.

Honestly in high school I would have been more offended had a coach not being yelling at me or lighting a fire under my arse.
In my mind that means he doesn't think I'm good enough for his time and effort.
Some people on this board are just to accustomed to the "I love you and your performance is only the 7th thing about you that I care about" mentality.
