is sloppiness the norm for a competitive top tier D1 football program?

I watched the first Press Conference footage last night since JH was hired.

I'm out of the loop on what is the norm. I know we've had a few coaches who shall not be named who didn't present very well on the sideline.

In a previous life, a press conference meant something. If a person was a professional with their direct reports and coworkers, they were always even more "on point" in front of the people who "signed their checks".

Call me old school, but I would've fired JH on the spot if I was signing the checks and walked into that presser.

Does no one care anymore? Do we not have enough money to ask professionalism? Has the sport as a whole devolved where that will never be expected again?

To me - the appearance/affect alone that I saw explains so, so much about everything I've seen on the field.

Do you see it differently?

I agree, the gum smacking was quite immature and disrespectful.

Its how we’re losing honestly. So many games of coming out of the locker room uninspired is what has most fans irritated. I still would’ve been mad about a 3-7 point loss, but it wouldnt have been as bad with some kind of effort in the second half.

This Heupel sloppiness nonsense reminds me of Bama fans complaining about Deboer's appearance all last season. It was a constant stream of complaints from their fanbase about him wearing t-shirts and hoodies on the sideline and how unprofessional it was. This year, they wanted him to wear the black hoodie every game because of a win streak.

Yes this thread is a little petty but there’s some merit here. If I showed up to work looking like a soup sandwich and not shaving in 4 days I’d have an unsolicited sit down with the director.

If I allowed my own personal appearance to become this careless especially in a very public role, what else am I cutting corners on behind closed doors?

That's precisely the point of this petty thread.
