no coaching during game, nonchalant attitude by the HC, no emotion from the grownups on the sideline- - no wonder 7 wins a year and can't be Ga
 
He did say it all. With 11 minutes to go in your rivalry game, you are down 2 scores, and there is no hope, no coaching, nobody telling those kids to keep fighting, get a turnover etc.. He's sitting right there watching those kids 5 yards from them. Burnett makes a young kid mistake and carries the ball with the wrong arm and gets it knocked out of the endzone -- NOBODY COMES TO COACH HIM UP AFTER THAT. F Gailey, F his whole staff.
 
I wonder if he ever coached. I used to coach constantly but there are many many situations where it's probably best to just move on. Burnett's fumble is probably one of those instances. You can talk about those mistakes later when watching film. Burnett didn't need to be told on that one during the game.

I do not argue however with the sentiments in general.
 
His main point was that the team, and the fans considered the game over when down by 2 scores with 11 minutes left. That's on the coaching staff, Gailey is the head coach. As a whole the team and the fans lost any excitement, passion, hope or care after Count Gailey had drained the life out of our program.

That's the NFL mentality he brought to this team. You don't "coach up" pro athletes. Most of them in the NFL today would tell to you to 'get the f*** outta my face.' It's just how it is. It's probably the main reason that most of our skill players don't/haven't gotten better over the years.

This speaks volumes.
 
Burnett didn't need to be told. He said so in his interview with Wes after the game. He knew exactly what he had done wrong.

Next.

Actually, aside from your usual inanity, Chan should have been cognizant to request a video review of the play. In all of the excitement and crazy of the play and subsequent referee conference and explanation, nobody bothered to check if Burnett was down. I was hollering for Chan to request a review because it looked like his knee was down.
 
His point about coaching came from his playing experience at TECH. He stated that they were always being coached (well, at least when O' Leary was around). One example he gave was the DB coach seeing him at the lunch table. The coach would ask him about class and how he was doing. Then he would quiz him on what to do in certain situations. I believe the example used was what to do when you see that a teammate has the opposing player wrapped up and about to go down. The correct response was to snatch, grab, and pull - ie go for the fumble.

He stated that when the team had given up the first TD in the fourth quarter that no one from the coaching staff gathered the team together and told them to keep fighting. He believed that the sideline lacked intensity.

He also cited the Burnett fumble recovery. He stated that a coach would have gone to them right away and told them what they did wrong.

His opinion is that coaching probably cost us one to two games per year.

right so the coaches should make that assumption after every error a player makes, that they don't need to be told and they know how to fix it?

Its a small example of the lack of coaching

ever wonder why tech teams don't improve over a year like UGA's has or VT's has? I have, and I am sure this is one piece of it. We don't exactly have the greatest sideline coaching.
