Why? : Clifford's record against Ohio State and Michigan is 2-6.
Clifford is a winner. That really rubs some people the wrong way. He played the game, he was the man in the arena. He put himself out there. That's never fully appreciated from the couch in your family room.
It's incredibly stupid to say it's "Clifford's record." But then what else can you say?
Imagine what Allar might be in for from some of our "elite" PSU fanboys? Remember...."WE DESERVE BETTER."
And why do you think most coaches do that? Maybe because that’s the best way to win consistently. Coaches tend to do what works, so they can be successful, and continue to remain employed. I know that’s not a goal for the couch coaches because winning and losing has no impact on their livelihood.
And your record is broken.
Because it's how they were taught, and if they deviate from the norm and don't completely exceed expectations, the old hens will be cackling and calling for their heads. The minute someone does something out of the ordinary, there's a bunch of traditionalists shouting about "back in my day" and "3 yards and a cloud of dust" and all that nonsense. It's also much easier on them. And easier to control a locker room that way, too.
Like some guy named Moogy has coaching figured out
I have no doubt you believe you would revolutionize coaching. I mean how hard can it be?
I couldn't possibly. I'd be flummoxed just trying to figure out what type of ball to use, and keeping all the fancy position names straight (wait, Will is the Mike, and Mike is the Sam, and Sam is the Will!?!?! Can't we just move them around so Will is the Will?) . I don't know how you, and all of the rest of this (and every other) generation's brightest minds, did it.
Not far from this was my favorite bit of coaching I ever received after freezing at practice, not sure of who I was supposed to block. “If you don’t know what to do, hit somebody!!!”
To play this game men, we need to be mobile, agile and hostile.
You keep talking about high school football coaches…we’re not talking about high school coaches, we’re talking about D-1 coaches who are at the top of their profession. I’m sure you feel you’re smarter than every high school football coach out there (which you’re not), but it isn’t easy to get to the D-1 level especially at a program like Penn State. You believe they’re all glorified gym teachers, but they’re not even close to that.
I used to tell my son when he played basketball, “Do something, even if it’s wrong.”
I was indirectly referencing a specific high school football coach. It's not all about you, or whatever conversation you feel you're entitled to have. Your last statement has some truth to it ... sometimes they're not glorified.
Dude ... you have to comprehend what's actually being said. That was my point ... I can't prove Allar was ready anymore than people can say he wasn't. It's my opinion, and I'm fine with it. It's the crazies rushing in here to bash me, or anyone else who would have preferred Allar, as being "couch coaches" and crying that coaching is hard, and we don't know what we're saying, and obviously Allar was the lesser choice because the coach said so (by starting Clifford).
So in a thread about Clifford being drafted....it's everyone else. Got it. The rabbit hole this thread went down is idiotic IMO.
Who said this as his initial post in this thread? "I'm happy for Clifford. I wish him nothing but the best. I would have rather have had Levis or Allar at the helm, but I hold no ill will against Clifford, who seems like a good dude and left it all out there for PSU.So in a thread about Clifford being drafted....it's everyone else. Got it. The whole rabbit hole this thread went down is idiotic on both sides.
It appears I made a good move putting that moron on ignore!
You could have ended it after the second sentence and that would have been sufficient. The rest makes you sound like a troll.
The only thing softer than putting a dude on ignore is boasting about it just sayin
He also knew more than our last basketball coach..,Like some guy named Moogy has coaching figured out
