I've been on championship teams, and I've never feared a coach. That's horseshit that fans like to say because they perceive a firey coach as more intense than a calm one.<br /><br />As for us having no guys that are hungry and have drive...I'd love to see you go head to head with the players on our team and say that. I understand the frustration, but that kind of hyperbole is assinine.Ben Dukeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08461781656555739470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6668303417231062245.post-87174288654960463762011-01-01T16:05:50.746-08:002011-01-01T16:05:50.746-08:00Nice comments...you made some very good points.
...Nice comments...you made some very good points. <br /><br />One other aspect I see in a team like an Alabama is the relationship of the players between one another and the coaching staff. I sat 5 rows behind the Georgia bench for the Liberty Bowl and the same thought continued to enter my mind "our guys are flat". Plain and simple...Plus, I saw at least 3 guys yawning like they were sleepy! Freakin' YAWNING ON THE SIDELINE!!!<br /><br />When you look at a team like AL you know the players respect the head coach...they respect him, and more importantly - they fear him! That respect and fear translates into motivation (which we clearly have none)....it is clear our players have little to no internal drive to play hard. <br /><br />At some point, Georgia has to realize that while it is great to develop "good men"...we need to create football players - guys that are hungry and mean and have a drive to fight! WE HAVE NONE!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
