2014 Football Thoughts

Good post #5 Wartdawg. The paragraph below I particularly liked.

I also believe that this staff and this team will be the type that those breaks might go our way. Breaks are often
"made" by sound coaching leading to sound fundamentals leading to players being in the right spot and doing the
right things.

Doing the right thing. Better still being taught how to do the right thing by good coaching

Said it before as others have also. This group leaves nothing to chance they sweat the

Details and expect,no demand that they players do the same damn there's that leadership thingy

Go Dawgs

Picked this up, goes to show that the message is getting across to the players. Rankin is from Central Florida. Young man has no fear, expect to see him becoming a "serious" Special Teams player this season.

Quote from Rankin in the article below.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Pruitt just simplified everything. It's just so simple. It's night and day," Rankin said. "We knew the play, but then it was so much going on. The plays this year are so much simpler."

Sorry wlayton, I'm not picking on ya, but I had to belly laugh when I read the quoted text!....If I had a nickel for every time I've heard THAT said,.....I'd, well,....have my pockets full of nickels!!!

I'm expecting another 8-4, 9-3 season. Had it not been for some of the more positive "changes" that have occurred since January, I'd be expecting fewer wins. Talent has NEVER been our problem.....EVER!....As for 2015???....Show me da MONEY!!!!

Go Dawgs!!!!

Not piling on . . . . Has been said many times, this board included.

Do feel we are much better off than we have been for more years than I like to count.

Same message is being sent to Athens . . . . World of talent, really need to coach them up. Mixed signals too often confront the incoming talent.
