I call bs. If players aren’t buying-in, are demotivating, and don’t have purpose, it’s directly on him. He needs to own that.

New players ( who were similarly or less recruited than the existing roster, by the way) are not going to magically solve that.

I'm not sure if you've played team sports but if a good chunk of your team doesn't buy in or care atleast then it's harder to win.

I disagree that people can’t inspire others.

The hard part is finding the right motivation. I believe most people have a switch or button that when activated the light comes on and then they get it and are willing to put in the work to better themselves which will result in improvements for the team they are on.

Sometimes that motivation is a selfish one and they are only concerned for themselves to succeed. Even with that once they improve it will result in a better team performance.

When team members are working together to improve themselves and others there it typically a larger net gain than the selfish way.

Sometimes the individual matchups are a mismatch and the lesser has the responsibility to communicate that to their team and get help to get the job done. My best example is the left tackle vs the DE. If the DE has more experience, strength and has perfected their craft a less experienced, not as strong and underdeveloped LT may not be able to block a speed rush, a bull rush and definitely not.a type of stunt. When that happens and they are the obvious beat choice as LT adjustments have to be made. Run to the other side, keep a TE in to help, or have a RB ready to give a chip block. If a double team can’t get it done then a triple team is in order.

If players are willing to communicate the help they need on the field to their team that is the foundation of failure.

Sometimes the best way to beat a freak DE is to bring the fight to them by running right at them by bringing the kitchen sink.

He didn't say people can't be inspired. He said their hearts and desire can't be changed/inspired. That is true for the most part. Yes, differences can be made for improvement. But, the end result will always revert back to their own will, heart, and desire. You don't know anything about coaching. I have coached for 19 years and have seen fathers try to instill heart and desire into their kids when it is too late or when the kid simply will not respond like he needs to respond to be a great athlete. As the old saying suggests and proves, you can lead a horse to water. But, you can't make it drink. Yes, it will sip for a while. But, that doesn't get it done when the horses that drink and train like they should every day win all the races!!!

I don't a lot of things. I don't have 140 million tax-free dollars. I don't have six additional wives, though Shirley wouldn't put up with that. I don't have a Ram 2500 / 3500. I don't have a Bengal Tiger as a house pet. I don't have a Heckler&Koch UMP but would like to have one. And finally, I don't have a Moller Skycar, which I'd all but kill to own. There's a lot of things I don't have.

Forget the Heckler&Koch, the
FN SCAR 17S .308 RIFLE is more desirable, and Yes, I have 2

Yep, done it. If those changes result in demotivation that translates to getting blown off the field by Vandy and Missouri, there is a problem. You guys are in denial.

The transition in business or sports from one extreme to the other rarely happens without setbacks along the way. If it were easy everyone would see results instantly. Why question what our HC is attempting to do until he's had time to show results? Take a seat negative Nellie. Most of us are on this train for the duration, even it is ends up heading off the cliff.
