Grandpa Petrino Doesn't Give a Frick what you think....

[Feral]

Mostly fluff questions.

From our media? Unpossible

[red death]

Defensive staff threw too much at the transfers.  Sometimes dumb is smart. 

Travis trying to show all he knows and proved he didn't know the most important thing of all. 

Petrino scrapped it all, going back to base, and focusing less on complex defense and more about lining up and playing fast, and shedding blocks.

I think we see a much better defense.  Sure, there will still be issues with our conditioning and getting athletically beat.  But better.

The conditioning alone is unbelievable.  And can't be fixed.  Sam really screwed us there and it will take a year to fix.

Sounded like they were following the same approved script from the Pittman era. Of course none of them know how to ask a very football technical kind of question. Then again I'm not sure Petrino is going to give them anything other teams can use against us. 

Like say he was asked if there are going to be any changes in terms of who starts/plays and he said sure...but he's not going to tell them. Obviously WR we are going to see some guys have to play that haven't played much due to injuries. I won't be shocked if E'Marion Harris is benched in favor of someone else. The DL I don't know what options we have but there may be a young guy or two they work in instead of some of the slugs we've seen so far.

I miss Bob.

"Hey Bobby, um, remember that time you were Head Coach here before? Um, how do you feel about that?"

Strength and conditioning can make or break a team and thus a coach's tenure.

Sowders has been an unmitigated disaster. Forget the effort and quit, this team looks weak. Defensive linemen are getting zero pressure, and we're utterly incapable of making a solo tackle. I've never seen a defense give up more second chance yards and get out-muscled at the point of attack so regularly.

They love and care for each other.  That's what REALLY matters, the togetherness.

I'm I crazy, but haven't we complained about every S&C coach we've ever had? Have we ever been a good one?

I didn't complain about Veltkamp

[woodhog14]

We all want to believe that. It's been a long two weeks. Two weeks ago, I felt TN would blow our doors off with Pittman running the show, but I have a feeling we will compete in Knox. No transfers, maybe that's circumstantial, with the portal stuff, but I'm also going to give some credit to the staff and leadership. This could have been a lot uglier.

No transfers because they won't get their money if they go in the portal now. Wouldn't give coaches that much credit for keeping the team together.

we complained some because we didn't know he was making chicken salad out of chicken shit. we still got pushed around by lsu, bama, etc.  but it was much better than would have been if we had the s/c coaches since then.

I can see that. We were definitely better conditioned.  We didn't realize what we had until it was gone.

[HOGSRUNWILD]

I don't remember who it was, but we ran the fuck over a lot of teams late in games to close them out in Bobby's first time around.  I remember closing out LSU at the end of the game with like 10 straight runs or something like that.  Just fucking broke them.

[piglosopher]

Herbert did well at Michigan best I can tell.

We had conditioning issues under him but i wonder how much of that was from a directive from Bert.

[buff2.0]

I seem to recall during Chaggie's first spring here there was a story about some players getting their asses chewed for stepping out of line during conditioning drills. Apparently under Bert they were allowed to do that when they were tired.

Pittman probably hasn't been much different.

Yes, Cam Ball does it in the game.  Dude makes one play and looks like he's about to pass out.

[vegashog]

bert had guys carrying mattresses around. don't think he was as soft as he's made out to be, when the running game was going they would make other teams quit.

the turf on one of the practice fields led to a lot of players getting a foot tho.

Which SC was responsible for the freaks come out at night? That was classic.

That was early Bert. What was that fuckers name?
