CPJ is More Hands On

“We’ve got to do it better,” he said. “We’ve got to play better. We’ve got to coach better. It’s like I told our assistant coaches, you’re accountable for the way they’re playing. Except ol' Sewak, or Sewacky as I call him. He's great. Wouldn't change a thing about him or his schemes."

Well this is telling.
 
In other words, CPJ is going to leave Sewak on the payroll and take over the job himself.

Until the OL plays well and CPJ thinks, "ok, the OL is fixed" and turns it back over to Sewak, who proceeds to öööö it all up again. CPJ takes over again and the cycle repeats itself.
 
Thanks for posting, TIA.

Is there agreement here that - based on what CPJ said - if we have a similar offensive result vs Miami, Sewak is gone?

I certainly wouldn't bet on it. I don't think CPJ thinks like that. If he had a question about Sewak's competence, he'd go grill him on the offense and find out that Sewak is still a master of the concepts and that'd be that. If you've taught the guy who to block and he can't remember it on the field, you might have a look at "have we been teaching this the right way" but they've been teaching it the same way for 30 years, so I think you're going to see OL shuffles and all sorts of other stuff way before you see Sewak take any heat. I'm pretty sure that CPJ is pretty sure what they are doing works.
 
Johnson sat in the offense’s team meeting on Monday and challenged players to explain missed assignments.

“I wanted them to know that’s unacceptable and I wanted some answers from them,” he said. “I wanted to know why did this happen. What was the problem? Is this so confusing to you that you don’t know what you’re doing? Did somebody tell you to do that? And I also wanted some accountability in front of the whole group.”

This sort of discussion or handling has me encouraged, as I really struggled coming out of the Clemson game trying to grasp why the OL continually struggles with assignments year after year. My hope is more sessions or discussions with CPJ will diagnose, as a group and man-to-man, what's got their heads spinning during games.

It's got to help not only the players but also the coaches.
