I would hope the coaches treat it that way. But the reality is that it’s really not a 10/10 in importance. Even if you were to grade relative to this year’s schedule there’s no way it’s more important than the Kentucky game was. So it can’t be a 10. Last game of the year, bowl game locked up, unlikely to be a meaningful one against a meaningful opponent. The game is pretty unimportant.That is literally the way CJH approaches coaching. The players consistently point out that he constantly, and seriously, looks at every single practice, meeting, film session or game as an opportunity to go 1-0 for that instance. That is one thing that keeps the players from looking ahead to the next game or getting too caught up in themselves.
Years ago Vanderbilt was a given. It didn’t matter if we had won 10-15 in a row still you don’t lose to them. Not the in state rival. Important game . I’ll give it an 8 on the scale 1-10.
Whether it is important in reality or not, my point is that CJH seriously considers every aspect of the process as a 10 on the importance scale. Call it coach speak or not; listen to the players when they talk about his philosophy. He approaches every day as the most important day of the program and has his players trying to win every day and go 1-0.I would hope the coaches treat it that way.
