Here's an idea you DUMMY!

HOW ABOUT you figure this SHT out and get your FKN TEAM together during the week, and not take out your inability to motivate and discipline (coach) your players on the fans that paid money for and invested time in THE FRKN GAME THAT YOU WERE PLAYING SATURDAY.

How about you, as a head coach making 9M a year, stop being overwhelmed and overreacting during the game to stuff that doesn't matter on the field, and start focusing on the stuff RHAT DOES MATTER WHEN IT COMES TO THE ACTUAL COMPETITION DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF YOU?!! Maybe your players are overreacting and being undisciplined, getting false start and UC PENALTIES, because you're overreacting and being undisciplined...

If you want your WRs to stop getting really really stupid penalties, PULL EM! Get em out of the game until their heads are in it.

If you want to WIN GAMES and get players to do the little things outside of practice, maybe YOU SHOULD look at, consider, and do the little things IN PRACTICE so that you don't mismange them IN GAMES. Clock management. Comprehensive end of half offensive scenarios. Comprehensive end of game situations, 4 down situations/drives. Uptempo possibilities.

Maybe even putting an equipment manager in charge of making sure people have their shoes tied, and then not OVERREACTING BY KEEPING YOUR BEST BACK ON THE BENCH FOR ALL BUT A HALF DOZEN PLAYS. Why in the everlovin FK should ANYONE have to post things like this for a coach that makes 9 FKN Milion dollars per year!?!?

COACH YOUR PLAYERS ALL WEEK. Coach them well. Stay on them. Don't take plays off. Don't let things slide in practice or off the field. Make them run hills/steps, do extra drills, move sleds IN PRACTICE and after practice.

MANAGE YOUR PLAYERS IN GAMES. Put a captain on the guys that need that. Put an equip manager on guys that need that. Put a conditioning coach/trainer on guys that need their snaps and tweaks monitored. That's what you're being paid to do.

Put a hat/coat on guys (and put em on the bench) that can't keep a lid on their egos and emotions. Make them run hills/steps, do extra drills, move sleds IN PRACTICE and after the games of they cause UC penalties that hurt the team. Drop em on the depth chart in practice. Humble em. Pull your WR coach aside and tell him he'll be fined $Xk for every bullsht penalty his guys cause.

It's way past time to get your SHT together and stop costing us games.

If you can't do it, go talk Coach Brooks out of retirement to manage this team for you. The team is a reflection of its coach and Coach Brooks never had teams that looked less than business-like/professional on the field for a reason.

It's pathetic that fans have to point this TYPE OF CRAP out to a damn overpaid coach.

 

[HerrosHeroes]

Ummm its not like Stoops is telling Wilcox to paint the Moon.
Tie your damn shoes if you want to play.
This aint rocket science!

 

[UKWildcats1987]

I have to question how clueless one can be to not realize one's shoes are untied.

Not defending Stoops but just saying.

5/5 on rant BTW OP. Enjoyed the read.

 

[mrschwump]

Why does a guy have to come off the field to tie his shoe? It's not like losing the helmet or having blood on the uniform. Shoe retie takes what, 3 seconds?

 

[Bubs72]

So he gets upset and benches guys for not tying their shoes, but guys can commit drive killing personal foul penalties and continue to play? How does this make sense?

 

[Coach Marrow]

Is Wilcox still the best runner even with untied shoes? That’s the important question here.

 

[Phil_The_Music]

He's sounding more and more senile like Cal did at the end.

 

[mrschwump]

Best with or without shoes, tied or untied.

100% right on everything.

Only changes I would make are the last two paragraphs. It’s not time to fix things. It’s time to change things. He’s had 12 years to fix. It’s time for him to start packing up. He’s as good as he’s gonna get, which hasn’t been all that good in my opinion.

His comments about shoe strings have nothing to do with his complete ignorance on offense and special teams through the years.

And by the way.. it is very possible he’s the worst offensive coach in division 1 football.

 

[ukfan1622]

Obviously, a player needs his shoes tied to enter a game. But if his shoes are not tied and we need him in the game...don't we have any coaches capable of saying "hey, tie your shoes"? That doesn't seem like a heavy lift to me.

Reminds me of Billy G saying his players just needed to be 5% tougher. With Stoops it's always just needing to clean up a few things. When coaches don't know how to fix things they spout cliches.

 

[Cobb4uk]

My Dad use to say, "the truth will set you free, but everyone doesn't want to be free". Thanks for saying it like it is. The truth hurts sometimes, hope this is one of the times and he corrects many wrongs.

Exactly! At this point that dude is riding this one out until his bank account gets to his desired number of 0’s then he’s gone.

I’ve never felt that he loves or even knows the game of football. He found a sucker (Mitch Barnhart) and is playing us all like a fiddle.

I'm surprised this Stoops comment went unnoticed. He's highly pissed at somebody. The comment: "You're grown. I don't anticipate anybody in here(team meeting) being sensitive because I'm calling you out in front of the whole team. It's not about pointing fingers, it's about finding a solution to why we're making the same mistakes and getting them corrected." Then, to me, the biggie...the caps are mine: IF THEY CAN'T HANDLE THAT, THEN THEY CAN MOVE ON. That tells me he is extremely pissed at somebody or maybe even more than one person and I think it's a player(s).

 

[ukfan1622]

One more thing I have to add: while Stoops defenses have been solid most of the time including this year, there have been far too many times a receiver has been left completely open on obvious passing downs for easy touchdowns. That's something that pretty much should never happen on a well coached team but it's happened several times the last couple years and I'm pretty sure it even happened twice in one game unless my old brain is misremembering.

I heard/read that. I don't think the media is where you handle those things. Gotta do that in practice/meetings, not in a presser. Jmo

Or the water boy can do it. Not rocket science.

Or the person wearing the shoes can be an adult and realize he needs to do it.

I agree but something's got a burr under Stoops saddle. He's highly pissed at somebody.

Should be the guy in the mirror.

 

[3632]

It's odd to me that this is something he bothers to point out publicly when we have had things like guys that consistently get penalties for not controlling themselves in their career, etc..

The fact he aired it in a presser, to me, suggests that he (Stoops) is a bit insecure about the optics of his overall performance. Again, IMO, Stoops doesn't seem to exhibit the character of a head coach.

 

[R.O.T.Muckinfush]

Rolling over on the players publicly is not a good look. This can cause a rift in the locker room.
