Gattis

The thing for people that disagree is that he’s not a veteran with a lot of success to rely on that would warrant getting on him for missing an open guy.

I’m all for tough love and getting on your guys - but He’s making his second career start on the road. He is well aware he’s playing like crap. He doesn’t need a coach jumping down his throat too, he needs a little support. He’s seeing ghosts and has absolutely no confidence in himself at the moment and an assistant coach jumping on him immediately isn’t going to help him find that read any better. He can’t lock in because he has nothing to lock in on. It’s a confidence issue.

Athletes talk about this all the time that they’re scared to make a mistake but there’s a big group of sports fans that are ‘manly men’ only tough love works and you’re so focused on taking your anger out on a guy you don’t even care if he succeeds moving forward you just want to take your frustration out on him. Hell, our own Kaleb Joseph has made a second career out of talking to kids about this type of behavior from coaches. Your job is to coach your guys where they are, not where you want them to be. This isn’t healthy or helpful. As my mom used to say “there’s a time and place”
 
How the heck does a guy who keeps getting fired have the nerve to dress down the QB, and by default leader of the team? How does that help Collins or the team? The players see that and will lose any respect they have left for Collins.

Maybe he's being dressed down because he did the complete opposite, or ignored, what he was told to do. Sometimes it's warranted.
 
The problem is it is Gattis and not Nixon or Fran. A low level coach shouldn't have the freedom to do that.
How do you know that Fran hasn’t empowered him to do just that? I have no idea if he has or has not. I would hope that if Fran doesn’t like Gattis’ behavior that he will hold him accountable. If he doesn’t, then Fran is FOS and loses credibility.
 
What was he yelling about? The replay seemed like no one was open in back of endzone or did I miss something ?

With you all the way. Who is Gattis and what does he do other than short-term stints where he gets fired ?
 
The yelling is a bad look on TV but this is big boy football and football coaches yell - A LOT.

I need my P4 starting QB’s to be able to handle getting yelled at after a bad mistake and keep it moving. That’s part of the requirements for the job
 
Ricky missed a wide open guy in the end zone.. it seemed like every time he rolled out today he had tunnel vision and could not see the underneath guys that were open within 10 yards of him.. he is deciding where to go with the ball as soon as the play comes in from the sideline.. and not recognizing the coverage and D alignment.. and because the game is too fast for him.. he has extreme tunnel vision on the field.. he hasnt started but is a 3rd year guy who has seen #2 and #1 reps in practice.. I am not sure if he can improve enough to be really good
