You say it doesn't make sense, but think about it. Every time GT wins, the opposing team's press says it's due to coaching. Look at what's happened to the Coastal in hires the past few years. Richt was hired because he has success against GT. Bronco was hired because he has success against GT. Bud Foster was retained because he had success against GT. Narduzzi was hired because he was a defensive guru who could scheme against GT.
Even when we think we were outcoached, such as in the case this past weekend vs BC, everyone in Boston says it's due to CPJ's coaching. The main thread here on Stingtalk was talking about how BC was outcoached, even though the difference in the game was 3 turnovers and 2 missed field goals.
