October 21, 20196 yr Author We’ve gotta play better defensively. Everyone associated with that side of the ball . . . We all get it. Have to figure it out.
October 21, 20196 yr Author Overshown being evaluated. Green practiced yesterday, encouraging. Foster being evaluated for everything.

October 21, 20196 yr Author We expect to play much much better, especially defensively. Effort level was not a question just poor angles and fundamentals.
October 21, 20196 yr "I'm never going to say its personnel, experience comes with time and we/coaches will handle development". Most I've seen him call out the coaches.

October 21, 20196 yr Author One of our biggest issues right now is guys trying to do too much. Just do your job.
October 21, 20196 yr Just now, bigup2dahorns said: One of our biggest issues right now is guys trying to do too much. Just do your job. After 2 years of this, it's also coaching. They are obviously not landing their teachings, not being able to relate and land communication is poor coaching.

Yeah, to me, he seems to be laying this close to 100% on the coaches. Says we have good players that are giving good effort, they are just taking bad angles, bad fundamentals, bad fits, etc.
October 21, 20196 yr Yeah, to me, he seems to be laying this close to 100% on the coaches. Says we have good players that are giving good effort, they are just taking bad angles, bad fundamentals, bad fits, etc. Then you have a bad staff Tom and it's past time to cut bait.
October 21, 20196 yr Author First TCU question . . . A: really well coached defensively and still finding their way on offense at the QB position. Difficult to scheme against.
October 21, 20196 yr 39 minutes ago, Surly Bevo said: “Solid defense here Tom you had 8 guys covering 4. Way to win the numbers game” This boggles the mind. W. T. F.
October 21, 20196 yr Author Asked about punt return stats and special teamsA: return game has not been good. We have to play more starters on special teams so you will see that. We should be using our talent advantage on special teams.

October 21, 20196 yr Tom's solution to special teams is to play more starters on special teams. How about have some balls Tom and hire a coach who is not a backup!
October 21, 20196 yr Author Anwar: still confident on defense scheme? A: I don’t think pressing the reset button is always the answer. As coaches you can get frustrated, but continue to improve and get better.
October 21, 20196 yr Tom implying he's not gonna hit the reset button. "Believe in what you do D and get better at it."

October 21, 20196 yr Author Q on going for it on 4th down A: complex formula that I don’t always listen to it. We have to do a better job of coaching our guys in executing plays. Lot of factors that go into the decision. Edit to add commentary: lot of ins, lot of outs, lot of what have yous
October 21, 20196 yr 2 minutes ago, RollLeft said: Tom implying he's not gonna hit the reset button. "Believe in what you do D and get better at it." So he doesn’t find value in getting pressure on the QB. That’s nice to know.

October 21, 20196 yr In fairness to the players, i think they have the one-arm wiff technique down to a science.

When you're more concerned about making an ESPN highlight reel instead of wrapping up and getting the guy to the ground that's what happens. At least that's from my experience playing DB in HS.
October 21, 20196 yr yep, Herman is never going to fire his friends. and also never going to win the big 12.

October 21, 20196 yr Didn’t listen, but I like how he seems To be blaming the coaches for the issues. Maybe he will fire some peeps at the end of the year.

October 21, 20196 yr Author Was TH referring to coaches here?No, the players. Specifically on defense I believe.
October 21, 20196 yr 10 minutes ago, bigup2dahorns said: No, the players. Specifically on defense I believe. Yeah it's about the players, but it's speaking to their coaching. He's not throwing the players under the bus, which is good.

October 21, 20196 yr Give Dave Aranda 3 mil a year and see what he does with our defensive players. Seriously.

I doubt he's moving on now that Orgeron seems to have stopped overruling his assistants all the time. He's got a pretty sweet set up in Baton Rouge, and it's hard to make guys at bluechips move laterally.

I would think of all the bluechip DCs around the country, Aranda would be easier as he and Herman have a history together.
