Wow he was pissed off. I have never seen him act the way he did during the presser. Did he seem a little out of charter to you or was it just me?
 
That really pissed him off at the end when someone asked him if he's any closer to naming a starter at QB. Collins said "that's not what we do here." He then rattled off something about using six different DB's with no designated starters.

The ATL philosophy may work for all the other positions, but not for QB. He doesn't seem to realize this or doesn't want to admit to it. No team has ever succeeded with the "QB by committee" strategy. The quarterback is the leader of the team, and there must be a starter named to have success. This has been shown time and time again in the history of football.

As a big Collins fan that is the one piece of advice I would give him: "You have to have another answer for QB"; you just have to. Come up with something else and try it out on some inside the org and see how it plays.

If I were a close personal friend of his (Key, cough, Key) I would tell him the same.

He was pissed and showed emotion but he also composed himself. I think that is all good. It was more than proper given the circumstances; at the time, he thought the refs had screwed up and cost him the game; many other coaches would have said more and said it hotter than he did.

I've had little league coaches tell parents/others to not talk to them after games or even ask them questions. It really is an impossible task to come down from the emotions of a game, process everything that happened live and know how to answer pointed questions. That is why many coaches look like jerks now and then; also, why some of them never give anything other than short answers or non-answers.

He realizes it. He wants a starting QB, he just doesn't feel that he has one, so he is staying on brand with the ATL thing. He may never "name" a starter, but it will be obvious when we have one.

I guarantee Collins does not want to rotate QBs.

Unfortunately one of our QBs can run well and can't pass. The other allegedly passes well in practice but doesn't seem to run well. The other was hurt.

what are you gonna do

You bring in a Ken Whisenhunt type and find a way!!!!
 
I'm curious as to what the recruits think about the ATL. Does a four or five star QB who is probably the king of his high school worry about going somewhere they won't even call him a starter? Probably not, but it might.

He doesn't have a QB worth a damn so he hasn't named a starter. It's that simple.

He still has to stop vacillating, name one and stick with him for a game or two to have any chance for success. It's that simple. That's just the way it works.

Apparently, it was obvious to Citadel as well because they kept stopping us pretty damn well on 2nd and 3rd downs (and once on 4th) when they knew we were going to run it. If your offensive line can't block the people in front of them, Tom Brady ain't gonna help you at QB.

I still don't think it's so much that he can't name one or wants to play them all, it's the fact that he has explained how he introduces his lineup every week, and that he does not NAME starters. That is meant to be that he does not NAME starters to the public, to the media, or for other teams benefit. I can guarantee you he and his staff (and likely the team) know who the starters are for the week and unless something drastically changes in practice, that is what it will be. His ATL philosophy is to encourage the guys that aren't listed ATL to get better, and to not publicly have to name starters. He does not intend it to be that everyone ATL gets the same amount of reps or playing time in the game, it's just that we haven't had a QB emerge as the clear leader yet so they've all been getting reps.

It wasn't as simple as that. If they were stopping us that well, we wouldn't have been able to run it right down to the redzone there at the end of regulation like we did. We did that extremely easily IMO and should've been able to do it that way most of the game.
