To be fair, the defensive players are being put in a system that allows them to be successful. If we ran a read and react defense and teams were gashing us, I don't think players would be happy.
Look - if you put Trevor Lawrence in the triple option offense, and the team was struggling, is it really Lawrence's fault that the coach is running the wrong system for his skill set? If he was getting the shit kicked out of him, while losing - you think it's the player's attitude that is the problem?
You pay the coach millions of dollars to win games, this year. Not win games 2 years from now with "his players". If we have OL that know we can pound the rock and score points running a certain type of offense, but instead we are running an offense that doesn't allow our players to use their talent, you think it is the player's fault for wanting to leave? That is nuts.
If Mullen had asked Relf to play like Chris Leak and pass the ball as opposed to play like Tebow, that would have been nuts. Mullen to his credit, adjusted his gameplan to use the strength of his players to win games. We ended up pounding the shit out of several teams that year, including the bears (one of my favorite egg bowls ever) all because Mullen used his team's talent to their best use. That is all some of us are asking Leach to do.
We want him to be successful today, not wait 2 years.
How about the players trying to learn the, "skill set," the coaches are teaching instead of exercising their other, "skill set," on twitter.
Old dog new trick thing.
