Kublanow and Sale using Internet for Technique

Not sure how I feel about this... normally when you pay a guy six figures for a particular specialty, it's because you don't want to reply on Coach Google to prepare your team and develop your players.

Kublanow, who started all 13 games at left guard as a sophomore last year, got looks at center in the spring, and the team decided to insert him as the starter there at the outset of fall camp. But similar to Wynn, Kublanow was having trouble achieving the needed consistency with his shotgun snaps.
That’s when Kublanow and Sale sought out new techniques on the Internet. That search led Kublanow to an instructional video on YouTube, and since then, center’s been a snap.

I am a network engineer and a good bit of the things I fix that are broken are read or gathered from other people who have already had issues or experienced the same issue and that tells me what I need to know to troubleshoot. Google is a great tool. I have been coaching little league baseball for 4 years with my son and just about everything I do I have gathered from those that have been doing it for many years on the internet.
I think what Coach Sale did is actually smart. Use the tools that are available to you.

If I hire a network engineer for $65k who says he's a CCNA and I catch him googling how to open a telnet session, I'd be really worried.
Sale is a highly paid offensive line coach at a big program googling snap techniques.
Not a pee wee coach, not a church team. Not a science teacher in over his head at Harrison High.

It's been 10 years since I have made 65k and I haven't used telnet in probably 5.
I think you are misunderstanding the difference between high level BGP issues and basic introduction to networking. CCNA is only worth the paper it's printed on if there is no experience behind it.

If you are ever at a point in your career where you don't think you can improve or you can't learn something from others to improve yourself then you are officially god or for the atheist in the crowd....a more complex variation of atoms.

Good for you?
I guess these days you simply pass the buck to the firewall team or the cable guys, because clearly your network is fine... and when it isn't fine... and you can't find an answer on the cisco discussion board in 5 minutes, you just open a ticket with Cisco before having the cable guy replace all the 3rd party sfp's with the stock of Cisco's you keep in your desk for these types of emergencies.

This isn't uncommon, the OL coach I GAed under in Texas won 2 NC playing, played in the CFL and Arena league, then has been a high school coach and college coach for 12 years. We were always looking for new drills, ways to teach the kids and techniques to make the kidS and ourselves better.

Not sure what kind of environments you work in but working for the government we manage our own firewalls and circuits until they hit the vendor. And the government isn't cheap ....none of our SFPs are 3rd party.
. Also, all of our firewalls are either Juniper SRX, netscreens and very few Cisco ASAs. This post was edited on 8/23/15 at 11:09 am

The leaders in every field will tell you they are constantly students. In the information age you don't have to know everything, you DO have to know where to find it.
Whatever works IMHO.

If you had a serious legal issue, would you be upset with your attorney for searching the internet for prior cases that might benefit you?
Funny that some here were applauding Georgia for hiring outside sources to assist and advise on strength & conditioning a few years ago.

Not a valid comparison.

Coaches can only spend so many hours per week with the players. If he can get extra help on technique via YouTube on his own, after practice, then it's a damn good deal. That means that Sale can put in work with the entire unit at practice and in film instead of having to focus on one player getting his snaps down for part of the practice session. If a kid is willing to work in his spare time and it improves his technique/performance, I see that as a huge plus.

I am on the fence on this debate. You would think a coach at this level could teach a center to snap. However, why not use the internet to look for ideas and improvements that others may have tested.
Not sure which side I am on. Let me do some google research and get back to you.

If they play well on the field, I don't give a shite what they used to prepare.

Isn't Kublanow left handed? Maybe Sale was just looking for better techniques for a left handed center because he has only dealt with right handed. I don't know if there is a huge difference but I don't see the big deal. The coach and player went the extra mile to improve their game seems like a plus to me

Honestly I don't have an issue with this. Sure, I would prefer to have an omniscient OL coach but if Kublanow can snap for the shotgun perfectly then I am cool with it.
Also, you kids need some SonicWall in your lives.

Exactly.
Not sure why this is controversial. It's not like he went to a message board full of retards and asked LongSnapper24348 to teach him technique..
He watched an instructional video. And it clicked. Good for him.
