Coaching or talent or both?

Has Clark Lea taken a team to the playoffs yet? Asking for a friend.

Well to be honest and fair, Lea isn't exactly at a football powerhouse. He's doing this at Vandy and that's no small feat. Gotta give credit where credit is due. Lea knows what a football player looks like and can sure coach.

Come on. It’s this simple. Jonathan Crompton said it. Ramon Foster and Jayson Swain has said it. AP and Hubbs have said. It’s INDIVIDUAL EFFORT. Coaches can teach you until they are blue in the face but the individual has to want it. And this year many of our guys just didn’t want it.

.....and that's why I've been harping about. Saban, Spurrier and Smart would meet them on the field as they came off and got in their face. They were/are the head guy and didn't leave corrections to the position coach only. They took charge. If they thought they were not getting through to the player they grabbed his face mask and chewed him out even more. When that was warranted they were sent to the bench and the next guy was up. Remember all those heisman quarterback candidates Spurrier used to have at Florida? He gave them two and at the most three possessions to open the game. If the offense didn't score they were sent to the bench.

We don't have discipline like that. One poster on here said he was at the game last night and didn't see any player get a chewing out - not even the linemen that stood and watched their man hit our QB in the backfield. No wonder this crap goes on. It is tolerated without correction. If they don't want it throw them off the team. That's what happened when I played and it sure lit a fire under everyone else. You'd be surprised how much the attention span improved as well.

Every decade:

5 years: 8-4
2 years: 9-3
1 year: 10-2
1 year: 11-1 (if lucky)
1 year: 12-0 (if even luckier)

Best case scenario each decade

If you're OK with 1 shot at a Natty every 10 years you're on the right track

Where did you play college ball?

Every post of yours is more laughable than the previous one

He’s a far better Coach than Heupel. We are still waiting on Heupel to learn from all the same mistakes that he keeps making. Good coaches put their players in a position to win no matter the talent, I haven’t seen that since the GA game until Josh reared his ugly head again and iced his own feeble kicker.

How many times has Vandy beaten us under Heupel?
