Want to know how to fail in life as a leader or manager? Try to do every job, for everyone, all the time...because you don't trust or respect the folks being paid to do the job, (CJP has no idea how to be a leader or the concepts of leadership.) The ship has sailed on CJP.

This observation is exactly why I don't feel like Jeremy will be successful as a head coach anytime soon. It's not about talent evaluation, it's not about the ability to develop players, it's not about knowledge of x's and o's...

He knows talent, he knows how to develop players, and he knows the X's and O's as well as pretty much anybody. The problem is he doesn't know how to be a leader of men.

Think of it in business terms. You can take the most brilliant & capable accountant from the department and make them CFO. And yet under their leadership, seemingly inexplicably, all the areas that they excelled in as an employee can start to struggle. The answer lies not in the details of those tasks or responsibilities, but in the leadership capabilities (or lack thereof.)

At this point there are many, many red flags to indicate that Jeremy is an excellent coach, but lacks the leadership skills that would need to complement his task capabilities and knowledge of details in order to be successful at the top.

When people are desperate, they tend to gravitate back to what they know best. Jeremy is putting downward pressure on his assistants, and even retreating to making himself a position coach mid-season, which is exactly the wrong thing to do at this time. He's comfortable driving down into the details, and running drills at practice, so he's gravitated back to that place. But he was hired to be head coach, a leader, and that's going exactly the wrong direction.

If he doesn't get some intensive leadership training and change the way he operates this organization, it's only going to continue to burn down from here.

I can't believe either Shrout or Maurer (or both) didn't transfer after last season.

I've heard scuttlebutt/rumor that Maurer really likes the idea of being able to walk around a college campus and known as a football player, and it doesn't entirely bother him that he's the backup.

Imagine how sweet that strut would be, if he actually saw the field.😎
GBO!!

I think you're wrong on that but unfortunately, there's to small of a sample size to know for sure...

I think of a mobile QB as someone who can move around the pocket or outside of the pocket to make plays downfield. Now a Mike Vick or Lamar Jackson is what I would call a runningback with a good enough arm to play the QB position. 😉
GBO!!

Two factors with a mobile quarterback: designing plays, and improvising.

We cannot design plays to roll QB1 out of the pocket or draw him up field. And we've seen that when the play breaks down he simply cannot improvise with his legs.

So IMO there is no standard by which QB1 would legitimately be considered a mobile quarterback.

Idk who would say that because he could walk around ANY campus and accomplish that. I assure you BM is probably one of the most competitive players on the roster and the moment you heard that should remind you that this is a kid that doesn’t give up on a single play and fights for every yard.

Is Harrison Bailey transferring to Ole Miss?

Sure he's mobile! He puts one leg out in front of him and then the other, and some movement occurs. This is also the case with sloths, turtles, myself, and other slow creatures.

Is he SEC QB mobile? Hell no.

People keep assuming that he can develop players but that is based off of nothing more than fantasy. Other than a handful of players on defense, who has greatly overperformed their interest level from other schools? Few if any of the highly recruited offensive lineman have greatly improved and outside of Thompson our secondary has been average at best. Henry is great in run defense but can't cover a receiver coming out of the backfield to say his life and the other highly touted linebackers have yet to really make a difference.

This Saturday is going to be very interesting to me. I really want to see how well this team performs after two weeks of preparation and practice. This should say a lot about this staff. I have my own opinions on what to expect knowing the stubbornness of the head coach, but I am going to evaluate this staff by how they get this team to perform this weekend.

To your point, with a wave of his hand, he fired his DL coach and named himself not only HC but interim DL coach as well. If the HC has enough time to embrace being the DL coach as well, he's not doing it right ... either job.
