Just wanted to point out the "double standard" that CPJ faces everytime our team hits the field. Although the triple option brings in a lot of PR for our football team thus creating additional exposure for the overall program....He constantly is subjected to the "gotcha" of being "figured out" and coaching a "high school" offensive scheme....
ON the other hand Carroll's USC Trojans can, and do regularly lose, to a unranked or sub-par team and the sports reporters don't accuse him of "being figured out" or even subject him to the same level of "defend your scheme" & "defend your resume" type questions they ask CPJ.....Suppose USC fans should all be railing Carroll and asking him to resign b/c of poor performances against "lesser known" football teams on a regular basis b/c it's losses like this that can keep a team out of the NC.
I also wanted to post this article because it supports the arguement that any team at any time can come out & be out performed by the other team. Thus leading to a unexpected loss!...ANYONE @ ANYTIME...Each and every game the team who is most focused, motivated, and willing to give 110% will most likely excell.
So let's stay motivated & supportive of all the players & coaches who wear GT on their helments or across their chest...Let's build 'em up & do a little less tearing them down as a team or as individual players or coaches....We win or lose together as a team and as a program we strive to correct the mistakes & move one step closer towards our goals for the season. As CPJ says "Good teams don't lose twice! (back to back)"
