A few telling stats

I can accept freshman turnovers. I can accept effort penalties. I can accept our bad players being overmatched. But this presnap penalty horseshit has to be fixed. This is year 2.
And the illegal participation penalties. This problem dates back to last year and so far, we've had at least one in every game this year, 3 last week. That is coaching or lack thereof.
 
15 penalties today, 10 penalties against FSU. 12 turnovers in 3 games.

The offense:
Syracuse: 450 yards, 20 points.
UCF: 470 yards, 21 points
FSU: 440 yards, 16 points.


1/5 on field goals this year, including three misses inside of 30 yards.

All of this is not the cause of "superior athletes". It's stupidity and bad coaching. Fix it.
Yeah...but how many of those interceptions did the coach throw?
How many of those penalties did the coach commit?
How is it the coach's fault they didn't score in the red zone?
How many tackles did the coach miss?
The answer is all of them.
 
The penalties are the most telling to me. Between last year and this year, there is a very clear pattern of needless penalties due to players being undisciplined or disorganized.

I think it's fair to assume that the sloppiness and lack of preparation that manifests itself in those penalties is pervasive and impacts all three phases of the game in ways beyond penalties.

The simple fact is that we have been a poorly coached team for every game of CGC's tenure. I'm not ready to give up on him, but that's by far the most concerning thing to me. Way more concerning than players not having talent.

Yeah but... practice is fun now.
 
Geoff Collins is a massive tool. I bet he’s going to lower the tone of his voice during interviews this week like he did last year.
I think he’s a terrific recruiter and marketing guy.
The players like him, which means he has his finger on prevailing snowflake coaching techniques.
Has anyone ever seen him angry or upset at a knucklehead play? Even to Dabo level, much less Saban?
Positivity is great, but does anyone ever get yelled at a little? Correlation with undisciplined play perhaps?

His defenses at Florida were also undisciplined.
 
I’m seeing more talent on the field and ability and size that rivals our opponents for the first time in awhile. That’s positive at least
Honestly, if that’s all he does the next 3 years, he’ll have done enough. We just need to get fully transitioned to a normal roster and stockpile some decent talent. The next coach might actually be able to do something with that.
