Here is my two cents for the staff, it's probably not worth that much, but here it is.
1. Practice, at least on the first two days of the week, is live. That includes quarterbacks and one on one blocking and tackling drills. If you have injuries from it then so be it. We need toughness.
2. Simplify EVERYTHING on the offensive side of the ball. The playbook, blocking schemes, reads, post read options, everything.
3. Swallow the pride and arrogance and go back and look at what Mullen did last year on offense. Find similar stuff in your system and use it. Find what we can do, and do it over and over. People bitched about it when Mullen did it, but we are beginning to see WHY he did it.
4. If the players don't like it.....they aren't supposed to like it, or you.
5. Resign if the players EVER skip post game handshakes and the alma mater again. In fact, from now on YOU do it with them. That's a discipline and respect thing that can be done no matter how bad you played.
6. Square pegs won't EVER fit in round holes, unless you make them much smaller than they are. Why would you want to make them smaller?
7. Never set foot in the indoor practice facility again, unless we are playing in a dome that week.
8. Every opponent we play is better than Alabama. Show them that much respect when you prepare for them. There is only one opponent left on the schedule, the next one.
Some of that stuff is aimed at rumors I'mhearing. If it's off base then ok, skip that part.
