He could've shown some more grace - there are several comments that can be construed as finger pointing at Groh on his way out the door. WTTE of 'Hey, I gave all of the defensive responsibility to that guy while I handled everything else' and then the specific comments about the complexity of the calls and terminology.
And this (CPJ blaming others) is no new revelation - he came in with the reputation. If I'm not mistaken, the infamous 'McDonalds' quote was in response to a question about CPJ throwing Navy players/asst coaches under the bus.
I have a couple serious questions for you in order to understand your position better.
First the set-up: Thinking way back to our last game against CU, CPJ noticed that they were crashing their corners in run-support against a-back motion, so he called play actions that exploited the fact that the WRs became uncovered. We hit three passes in 4 plays (1 2yd dive by Sims) in an 83 yd TD drive because CPJ was able to identify and exploit a weakness in their defensive scheme.
Questions:
1) Do you agree with the last sentence? That the play calls were good in-game coaching that led to the score? If not, please explain why.
2) If so, imagine the same situtation but now after Sims 2yrd dive on 1st down the receiver drops the second down pass that lands right in his hands in stride and the qb then overthrows the third-down pass so that as a result we have to punt rather than having a touchdown.
What would the appropriate answer be? Are the same play-calls now bad coaching? Or does this situation just reflect a lack of execution?
