Looks like The Atlantic got a Chris LaCivita fully-sourced article. A must read about the mind and management style of Trump.

FSU and Auburn wondering too. Has to be a better way than quarantined money for bad results

Because every coaching contract is guaranteed to some large extent in college football. You’re not going to hire ANY coach without heavy guarantees in the contract.

The question should stop at why did we hire THAT guy and the answer seems to be that he was good in an interview.

Your words show you were comparing the two candidates by saying "one of them has no personal barometer".

"So policy is similar and one of them has no personal barometer."

Backing down again from backing up your own foolish statement?

I don’t understand how basic this is. You have 11 guys on defense and we keep one guy playing CF. If you rush 4 you’ve got a guy for everyone and thieneman. When you rush 5 you have Thieneman spy the QB or you rush in a way to contain the QB.

On the first play of Ot they played a zone and Yanni seemed to be covering “the ball” out of the backfield and that was 3 players, we fell for it.

But the second play Heldt, Yanni, and Thieneman were all watching the QB the entire play and none of them reacted to the RB sweeping out. Unbelievable.

Painter always says players figure out who plays and I truly believe that but he’s got his work cut out on finding a rotation that works! Biggest question mark is who plays the 5??
The rotation may take some time to figure out and every game may differ but this team has some really good depth to play with rotations throughout the season. Of course the freshman class has work to do but I really like what they all bring to the team!

Painter always says he was going to see another kid play but Cj ended up catching his eye so he started recruiting him. In his most recent post game interview Painter said he got tired of waiting on another player to make a decision so he ended up offering Cj and doesn’t regret that decision and I believe he is right…Cj is a dude!
Does anyone recall the player Painter was waiting on before he pulled the trigger on Cj?

Three sentences and the same insult three times, and yet you want me to do your research for you. Also, I didn’t say specific policies are similar; I said relative conservative vs. liberal policy lean is fairly similar. And that’s in part because Trump spends more than almost any lousy liberal.

That’s the scheme. We don’t have the extra man it seems to cover a QB or RB!

And the lack of speed at LB doesn’t help either. This scheme is totally dependent on having elite athletes making plays. We dont have them and the results are painful. Opposing OC basically gets a week off when they play us.

CRW needs to be gone ... now. It doesn't matter who coaches the last few games .. we are not going to win anyway so he can't do any worse.

Bro. It started game 1 of season 1 for Walters. It’s not the players…the scheme just doesn’t account for the “extra” guy out of the backfield. It’s a broken defense.

This defense hasn't been able to contain on the perimeter all season. It started with Notre Dame and hasn't stopped. There's just no one there.

POTFHBTFU said:

Yeah it happened 5 times in the game where northwestern got a first down or TD on RB receptions coming out of the backfield without being defended. And their RBs had 11! Catches. We only keep one safety back and he seemed to never pick up the RB. They asked Walters about this (well the last two plays in OT where they just ran that twice) and he said guys weren’t in the right places. You think by OT we schematically get this figured out.

I am so optimistic about the 1-3 and those 5 guards. So many tools there. I am optimistic about our shooters from both 2 and 3 will put a lot of pressure on the defense.

I am optimistic about Smith competing hard for the B10 POTY. Not a stretch to think he can do it as phe is just that good.

I am optimistic about added defensive tools at the 1-3. I cant wait to see Harris man up against Sears and other great guards. CJ no slouch either on D. Be fun watch to see what they can do. Loyer looks to be a better defender this year and is crafty on drawing fouls.

I am also optimistic about TKR. I don't think it is a reach that he makes one of the all B10 teams. Perhaps 2nd team? After first two games looking better than that.

I am also optimistic about CMP figuring out what works best for the team at the 4/5 as one of the best coaches in the nation.

I am optimistic about our big man coaching. They have shown themselves to be great at development of bigs this last decade. No reason to think that cannot continue that, just because it looks shaky early

Your mind is easily and continually boggled.

But policies are similar? Your mind bogglement has now devolved into delusion.

Which foreign and economic policies does your boggled mind consider to be 'similar'.

We did not lose this game because of the refs. Unless they were for some reason telling our defenders to not cover the wide open Running backs for the entire game.
