Drinkwitz Quotes (Dang I Love This Guy!)

The more I read about Coach Drink the more I love him.

Check out this quote on his approach to game management.

wiBO never did figure it out in four effing years.



On how he navigates offensive playcalling when the defense is playing well:

“Yeah, it’s not a difficult balance at all. You play to win the game. You play to win the game. We’re not playing stats. We’re not trying to score this many points. We’re trying to win the football game. And when you’re in a two-possession game, you’re trying to bleed the clock. It’s all about game management, and it’s just my two cents, but in football, we’ve got a lot of guys who don’t understand game management, they don’t understand clock, they don’t understand putting their team in bad situations. The reason why Bill Belichick is the best coach of all time is because he understands game management. He understands that it’s about winning the game. It’s about taking away their best player and making them beat you left handed. We felt like that was our opportunity to do that in the game. The punt right before half, we knew we were getting the ball back to start the third quarter. We punted, they tried to score, and they end up throwing an interception that’s the difference in the ball game backed up. That’s the kind of stuff you can’t do. You can’t put your team in a bad situation. And like I said after the game, we had played well enough defensively that the only drive they had mounted besides the first two field-goal drives, the only thing they had done was when we threw the interception. So didn’t want to put our guys in a bad situation. But for me, it’s not difficult at all. At all. It’s about playing to win the game and finding the best way to do that.”
