Message: [QUOTE="tep624, post: 1531132, member: 430"] All things considered, I would have much more confidence in the staff right now if we lived and died by the sword. Meaning, stop trying to be cute and 'gotcha' with decisions at critical moments and leave it up to the kids to execute. If they fail, at least we can look at that as an area that will improve with experience. I just don't like seeing these types of decisions happen, and ultimately backfire, and take the way the game is decided out of the kids' hands. It is not fair to them or us. USF was on the players, specifically Whitner. But he's a freshman and that type of stuff, as frustrating as it is, happens with freshman. UVA, Pitt and FSU (not to say we would have won anyway) are on the staff IMO. Yes there were some player errors in those games, but it's up to our experienced staff to make decisions that help to offset those, not ones that pile on. [/QUOTE]
