Fran's Game 1 Press Conference | Ohio

[PeteCalvin]

4) Thou shall not spike the ball on 4th down.

5) Thou shalt not hold the ball and take a sack on third down when you’re in FG range.

 

[CA Monk]

6) Thou shall have a back-up QB who knows what to do when he sees headlights!

 

[kcsu]

Do you eat fried noodles?

Grandpa!!!

I don't disagree with you but it's time for Fran and his staff to actually answer the biggest questions that most have been asking since he was hired. Can they actually scheme, implement their systems, gameplan and win games? I actually have no idea what it will look like, could be great could be an absolute disaster. Odds are it will be a little bit of everything and that is fine, he's going to need some time. Some of the expectations may be too much for a first time HC

Until 3:35 Saturday. He's a brand new car about to be driven off the lot on Saturday. By Saturday at 7 pm it will never be the same. Just a question if it's just a pothole or two, a small rock hits the windshield, or a total T bone job heading into an intersection but the criticism of HCFB will start. Just the way it is and always has been.

Fran is going to crush it

[OttoinGrotto]

Thou shalt not believe you can "pin 'em back" and punt from within the opponent's 40 yard line, lest thy donkeys shall be smited by my hand upon thy brow.

Thou shall not escape pocket pressure to run out of bounds 10 yards behind the line of scrimmage.

The thing that should help this first-time HC is that he has a lot of talented players to help smooth over some of those inevitable learning experiences.

"Lighten up, Francis."

 

[qdawgg]

Thou shall know, games are still played and game plans required after October.

If I learned anything from this thread is that we desperately need a "Thou shalt not" thread.

 

[bigmike]

If I learned anything from this thread is that we desperately need a "Thou shalt not" thread.

And cudos for using the correct word - “Shalt” in your presentation which is appropriate in this new environment where details matter.

For my part, and my use of “shall” I offer - mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. That is all.
