'Hell, I'm sure GP and staff are critiquing it and aren't too happy '

no doubt, just like I'm critiquing GP and wondering why he wastes so much of his limited mental capacity on knowing just when is the exact moment in time to take the foot off the gas, yet this is still one of his big concerns during the game...

quote:

"I think sometimes when score easy early, you're a little bit concerned," Gary Pinkel said, "because there might be a sense of, 'Gosh, we're going to run away with this game.'

first of all Gary, you've never coached a true shut down defense in your life, when you do you might get concerned with scoring too early and too often, until then, maybe worry about some less imaginary concerns. After watching your team get burned over and over from the same base set you might want to be more concerned with either getting players adjusted or having them make plays, if you're lucky Vandy won't have a better offense than SDSU, but every other SEC team will.

I know you know what it feels like, but GOSH Gary, let yourself be just a little less concerned during the game about embarrassing the other teams coach and more concerned about being on the receiving end. It's not like a Stoops, Saban or even Richt will lose a moment of sleep beating you by 50+ points.

Never seen a coach obsess so needlessly over a thing less likely to happen than he does over blowing out another team "too soon".
