I'm over the metaphors

I like Dino, but for the love of God, give this stuff a rest. I don't want to hear about cake batter and bridges and whatever else. Just win some damn football games.

“I think we are on a bridge right now,” Babers said. "We’re in a transitional period from the initial recruits we brought in to where we are heading to. This new rule where the seniors can hang around would help us if we could get a lot of our class to come back.

"I think the recruiting class that we have coming in is our best one ever. If we can get a year, a year-and-a half of these guys just going into the oven and getting bigger and stronger and faster, it would really benefit the bridge.

“If we can find a way to bridge that for a year, year-and-a-half, then let these guys come out on their own when they’re bigger and stronger, I think we have the start of that base and foundation that we’re talking about.”

Can't love him for his viral locker room speeches after huge wins and hate him when he's trying to describe what's wrong. He is who he is.

Could go back to the vocabulary and delivery of such great orators as "P" or "Marrone"... This stuff always comes secondary to winning, but I like Dino's press availabilities more than any coach I can remember.

Also, the gist of the article is "treat this season as a way to get better" and "hope the seniors come back, could really help" and that is exactly the right tone and direction for 2020 and 21.

He could always say the younger players are "flashing" - would that be better for you? Or maybe have Dino say we need to be more "multiple"

Maybe we should discuss the wisdom of baking cakes on a bridge.

 

[Orangello]

Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don't think that I can take it
Cause it took so long to bake it
and I'll never have the recipe again, oh noooooo

So what happens if 2021 is the same 4 win season with all those seniors coming back. He just painted himself into a corner if all that pans out and it is still a sub 500 record.

Dino reminds me of a modern era Coach Mac. He’s offense. And Mac was D. But both coaches brought a colorful style and quirky rhetoric. I hope Dino gets things going like Mac did.

I'm close to jumping off a bridge.

I'm sure some of us would be willing to push if you asked nicely..

Then he didn’t get it done? Especially in a year when we play a normal OOC. It will be obviously over if that happens imo

Does anyone know if we can get a bridge built from the sidelines to the huddle so that the coaching staff can get play calls in on time?

Yes, but it will look terrible and have a random rollercoaster over it.
