Listen, it was a nice win. And it was 2 in a row. We win 3 and thats called.... a winning streak. (Bonus points for those who get the reference). But lets pump the brakes on everything is gonna be great if we just keep doing what we are doing for another year or 2 b/c it absolutely is not.
Corch claims getting top talent wins titles. Sorry but that aint true. You're aren't winning a title without it, but it takes that plus a lot of good coaching, game planning and a scheme that takes advantages of weaknesses on both sides of the ball. If simply amassing talent won titles coaches like les miles and ogre would still be employed and a guy like jimbob dipsht wouldn't be on the verge of being run out of town. Those dudes had and have LOADS of talent and boatloads of money to bring more in, but their schemes and coaching sucked so they were either fired or their pants are en fuego right now.
We need a legit OC that attacks defenses in vulnerable areas - in the air and on the ground, and not just in certain areas of the field. We need an ST coordinator that can find ways to create or seize momentum. And we need to see sound fundamentals and discipline displayed consistently, not just here and there. (We also need to recruit some freaking O-lineman worth a turd but that's for another thread.)
I will generally agree with corch that establishing crootin relationships and getting good players improves your winning chances and should improve your record, but again, talent without proper direction, development, and without a sound plan of attack isnt going to do all that much. We've had that before and no one liked Zook. We are trending up and thats great, but stop with the mental felatio about crootin being the end all be all. And if I'm completely wrong and all that it takes is talent, then for the love of Christ, get some dang O-linemen!!!
