When this season started, I wanted to jump on board, wear the orange-colored glasses, and even drink the orange-flavored kool aid, but I kept hearing these seminar-type phrases, like, its a process, I have to watch the tape, and well have to get pressure from our defensive front. Now; with only three games left in this season, I understand what these phrases really mean. So, I started writing my Big Book of Interpreted Football phrases, and I present to you page 1.
Its A Process: This means that the coach does not know or understand what he has seen in practice, but if you give him time to work through the learning curve, he will promptly explain the whole predicament to you (but he will need about five years to learn).
Ill Have to Watch the Tape This phrase has two meanings. Number 1: The coach was busy ordering half-time refreshments and really didnt see the play. Number 2: The coach saw the play but didnt know who had the football, or who was supposed to have the football.
Well Have to Get Pressure From Our Defensive Front This indicates a strong aversion to risk taking. In other words, it means that the coach will not make a decision that could go wrong, e.g., calling a blitz. If we loose a game, then the reason will always be lack of talent, and of course, the coach needs five years to recruit.
All humor aside, I really dont believe that we have the coaching ability to exploit an opponents tendencies. I hope that we learn, but as it now stands, we will forever be competing for the number two position in the SEC East.
