I need help finding an article
Posted by MrPoppersPuffins on 2/13/15 at 11:25 am
I read an article a while back (I think it was written by an ESPN analyst back when we all thought we'd be relevant this year in hoops) and I can't find it at all.
It was an analysis of Haith's recruiting of transfers and how it collapsed on him and now Anderson is paying for it. Does anyone have it lying around?
Thanks!

The problem isn't THAT they are young... It's that Haith relied on solid transfers to float the team from season to season to prevent drop off. When you do this, you have to let either start picking up good freshmen (which he didn't do), or consistently pull in big stud transfers (which he failed to do at the end, which is why he bailed).
Kim isn't coaching a young team, he's coaching an objectively young AND bad team, which he had no responsibility creating. Give the man time, this crap isn't his fault.

Shouldn't Arkansas be ranked ahead of Ole Miss for beating them 30-0?

I think these players are just too fast to consistently make good calls in real time. I hate when people act like there's a giant conspiracy for one team over another. I don't think it ever really happens.

It may be an unpopular opinion, but IDC if we won this game by 1 in overtime or we were up so big we had our 3rd string playing by halftime; a win is a win and they all count the same towards your record.

I really think the majority of his problems are coming from the receivers. Losing DGB and Copelin was very big. They struggle to get open on every play, and it doesn't matter whether you a pee wee QB or Peyton Manning, if no one's open then you can't hit what isn't there.

You guys realize every single team in every sport has off days.
OK State lost to Iowa State with arguably the best offense a few years ago
South Carolina lost to a turrible Tenn team last year.
Stanford lost to Utah last year.
I understand it is the coaches job to have their players ready for every game, but these are 19-22 y/o kids. It's not really surprising they overlooked IU. And thats what happened. Our players overlooked an obviously inferior team that is designed around a big play offense.
What I take away from this game is that they executed their plays to near perfection on offense, defense, and special teams. At the same time we screwed pretty much everything up, and I mean everything. No turnovers, 11 penalties, only 2 sacks (if I remember correctly), and 2 key injuries (our best defender in Golden and Gatti).
With that perfect storm, we only lost by 4. It took all of that clusterfrick of bullshite, and they won on what looked like two weak penalties on their final drive.
We are much better than this, and maybe our players heads were too big. Taking credit for what last years team did, and not waking up and doing the job themselves. Maybe this is what they need.
All I know is we have will have a relatively healthy team going into conference play, and everyone in the East has at least one conference loss except for us. It's our race to lose at this point, and I haven't given up hope.

A team is never as bad as their worst game nor as good as their best game.
This is what happens when an entire team knows they can beat an obviously inferior team with a good offense. Textbook example of looking two weeks ahead.
The better, more talented team lost because they flat out didn't care about their opponent. We are miles ahead of them but they played so much better because we wanted South Carolina... Well this is what fricking happens when you think you are too good to care about your current opponent.
The funny thing is, I'm still very confident we will compete in the East this year.
Yesterday IU played nearly perfectly for them. They were able to execute every play on both sides of the ball and control the LOS. On the other hand, we committed I think 11 penalties compared to around 12 total in the previous 3 games. Mauk was constantly running for his life, our receivers dropped some easy frick passes, and they owned us when running to our left (Charles Harris is a RS Frosh... He wasn't ready for a full start yet).
And after all this, it still took them till the last 22 seconds to beat us. We have the more talented and better coached team, Its just that these are 19-22 y/o kids, and they don't have the discipline to not look past an opponent. It happens.
I still have confidence and hope we've learned our lesson about looking past a team. I think we are still the favorite to win the East, it's our race to lose. We just need to focus week to week better.

They are too chickenshit to play us yet. It'll probably happen again, but not until the can field more than a 3 win team.

Perhaps you should insert some quotes.
You're probably right, I'll see what I can do.
quote:
Pinkel has won more games than all but five active coaches. He is the winningest coach at two Division One programs.
quote:
Here is the breakdown of Missouri's two-deep by class (including special teams): 18 seniors, 20 juniors, 13 sophomores, seven redshirt freshmen and no true freshmen. It's nowhere near the blueprint that draws national headlines. But, for Pinkel, and for Missouri, it works. It's worked for 14 years. He brings players up through the program.
quote:
Tigers rank in the nation's top ten in both wins and first-round NFL Draft Picks over the last handful of years.
quote:
Maty Mauk played in every game and started four, plus a crunch-time relief appearance in a win over Georgia. Russell Hansbrough and Marcus Murphy each ran for more than 600 yards last season. Bud Sasser, Jimmie Hunt and Darius White all played roles varying from minor to starter last season. Some will argue that Markus Golden was better than either of the defensive ends Missouri lost. John Gibson and Aarion Penton played in 26 of a possible 28 games last year.
TL;DR We just gon keep on winnin muthafrickas

Time to be realistic cocks, you can't survive today without a good QB and Thompson isn't one.

Whose your backup QB and is he supposed to be any good? By week 5 Thompson will probably have let a game or two slip and the Old Ball Coach will wanna make a change. What kind of career do you see out of your backup?
