And some of us do...
I completely understand that coaches have to recruit to their system. The problem is, at MSU, we will struggle to ever have a perfect roster. But hey we are all used to that.
Let's look at Arnette. He has taken a bunch of young guys and made a defense that works. He has made some adjustments and there are some things he would do different if he has the personnel.
But let's look at our offense. We have more weapons on offense than we were suppose to have on defense. Yet we continue to fall on our face. We don't make adjustments. Square peg-round hole. The problem I have with this is a coach's job is to win games. Do the best you can with what you have. And we are not doing that - we are not looking at all the players we have and saying, if we can add these few wrinkles it will get us by until 2021. Or hey, let's run the qb a little to stretch the defense. Or why don't we install this new play that the defense will never expect. Or let's keep running the qb out that gives the other defense a chance at jump balls.
There are guys on this team that will never play college ball again. There are fans who go to the games today and spend money to support us today and not for 2022. We need to quit trying to make the offense fit and we need to conform the offense to help us win games now. We have lost two games that we should have won if we make adjustments. The reason this is a problem is coaches that do this will take a NC quality team and lose two close games because they didn't adjust for insufficiencies. Coaches that don't adjust for insufficiencies will never work at MSU. Never. They can win games, but there will always be a ceiling and there will always be games that we "should" have won. Unless Leach decides to make some changes to his philosophy he will not do anything special here.
