The players are soft

[Liberty]

Nesbitt would made that first down come hell or high water.

Nesbitt would have scored a TD on that play. Ole Piss did not seem like they had a tough D, but overall we’re pretty flaccid. I’m not sure where flaccid ever works but being flaccid on a football field is particularly dreadful.

I guess I missed this post in all the confusion but I agree completely with the posters telling OP to back off criticizing the players.

It is not cool, it is not acceptable and it makes you look petty and small minded. If you really think the players are the problem then you need to take a seat on the bench and stay there.

It’s not all the players fault. Coaches get paid to get their teams ready and we came out like we had 4 flat tires. Then we did it again in the 2nd half. Criticizing the loafing during the Clemp game was frowned upon, so we’re reaping what we’ve sowed. The staff’s tactic is to leave the players in there & hope they slough off the funk they’re in for UCF. If it was me, I’d put the guy who was going to hit someone in but I’m an armchair QB not an expert.

But that still puts you well ahead of the smartest person to ever graduate from Ugag.

Does that include Hershel Walker?

These players play like a bunch of pussies. Especially Sims. Maybe Smith and King showed some effort today. Everyone else running thru the motions from the first snap. They don't even give enough of a öööö to execute a screen pass.

Looks to me like they don’t want to play for those coaches. Maybe some of them wanted to transfer and couldn’t.

Question: Was Stansbury at UCF at the same time as Scott Frost?

No. Todd moved to Oregon State in June 2015. O'Leary was named interim AD. He stepped down in November 2015 when Danny White was named AD. White hired Frost.

Remember how pissed Nesbitt looked when he lost his first game at QB 2008 @VT (there was a terrible late-hit call against us btw).

I see NONE of that same fire from Sims. Granted, he’s playing behind a Swiss cheese O-Line that must like seeing him get destroyed back there..

I hate to say it since my son knew him from HS, but Sims DOES play like a little bitch.

He's playing like he's already secured his draft stock or something.

Too many hugs and not enough “up downs.”

teams tend to take on the personality of their coach.

 

[BainbridgeJacket]

I want to say that I appreciate the effort from the players today. I'm not sure who said what to get better effort, but I saw 3.5 quarters of guys playing for each other and that was improvement.

Show me 4 full quarters next week and stop with the bonehead plays.

I’m still of the belief that each successive generation that comes along is weaker than the previous. Josh f’n Nesbitt was a winner and wore the öööö on his sleeve. Guys today come up in an environment where they are bombarded with slogans like ‘kindness works’ etc.

I thought this yesterday. Watching another mediocre, halfhearted and inept performance and ruminating on Cabrera and Stansbury's praise of volleyball, I thought "My god, am I watching a DEI football program? Is that what this is?'

Or Josh Nesbitt was just a better player than Sims, and Gailey/Johnson were better coaches than Collins. I'm also sure you can find plenty of soft play from previous generations during some of our down years.

There is still plenty of hard nosed, never give up players on other teams. Hell, we still have players like that on our team -- that play by McCollum was anything but soft.

You can be a players coach.. but also enact some accountability on the team. They are 18+ years old.. kids fought wars at that age.

I long for the coach with a mentality like this:

• Don't cuss. Don't argue with the officials. And don't lose the game.”
  -- John Heisman
• “When you find your opponent's weak spot, hammer it.”
  -- John Heisman
• “Gentlemen, it is better to have died a small boy than to fumble this football.”
  -- John Heisman
• “To break training without permission is an act of treason.”
  -- John Heisman

Pics?

I think there will be a mass exodus once the new coach is announced and comes in. Honestly excited to weed out the quitters and weak of mind that consistently underperform and miss assignments

College football has changed. Get a good coach in here and if we can pick up portal players.

Some of them would just be better off and probably happier at a lower level of competition.

This is less of a problem than it would have been in the past due to the portal. We may also be able to take a full class of high school recruits for once.

Can you imagine the transfer portal IF we hire Prime?

That was my point. They’ll be replaced with guys just saying the next coach hopefully will not accept the lack of effort
