Clown trumpeted Sims spending time in Weinke's office and soaking all that up.
That's all well and good - but didn't he do the same thing before the 2021 season, praising Sims for all the time he was spending watching film with Patenaude on their "really good Temple offenses"?
I still am puzzled that if they knew communication among the DBs was such an issue during the season that nothing overtly was done to correct it? If having the positions split up is leading to commo problems, well, get them in the same room again. Kinda simple, Geoff.
I'll go back to a story PJ told me years ago. He was the OC at Southern and they were on the road at Northern Iowa in the playoffs. The head coach coached from the press box, not the sidelines. Game's over, Southern has put up 40 on UNI, and Darrell Mudra (the UNI head coach) and PJ are in the elevator headed down to the field. Mudra says, "I told them if they stayed in that defense, you guys would burn us." PJ said he thought to himself, "you're the head coach, dude. You can tell them to get the f--- out of that defense."
The point of that story is — Collins can implement any change he wants at any time. He's the head coach. Be the head coach. Not the head cheerleader.
If after five years none of this has dawned on him ... it may never.
