CMR aside. I am amazed our players came out so flat with a straight shot into Playoffs in front of them. This is way more worrisome to me than the annual CMR bash session. That wasn't coaching that beat us it was heart of the players.


Is it not a big part of coaching to instill heart? (see Erk Russell)



Yes, it is to a large extent. CMR is a 2 edged sword. I like his general composure which should instill a level of confidence in his players but he can also come across as laid back, even lazy which can be a disease for a football team. A great coach has to know when his team needs to be calmed down and when they need to be fired up. Richt seems to miss the read of his team a least a couple of times every season.

The ability of a coach to motivate players is way overstated, imo. It comes down to the attitude of the guys on the team more often than not.

None of UGA's upperclassmen defensive players are really alpha male types. It shows. Whenever the defense has been challenged physically, they've wilted. There is no scheme to fix that.
