So Will called a players only meeting. That can only mean 2 things. Either this is the day everything turns around or this is the day it all completely turns to sh**.
The dreaded players only meeting.
- Thread starter patdog
- Start date
Definitely means the worst is yet to come. Nothing good has ever come after a players only meeting except for in a movie.
If we get our a tail kicked again this weekend, I’d imagine there will be several players more focused on the transfer portal and some coaches probably talking to their agent about getting them out of Starkville.
Probably did it over Microsoft Teams since there wasn’t a conference room for 85 available.
“Can everybody see my screen?”
“Can everybody see my screen?”
Will missed the meeting. He went to hit the join button but his finger landed short and turned his phone off.
Don't jump to the dark side so quickly my younger alumna... It was a player's meeting after a blowout homecoming loss to USM in 1980 that turned MSU from "eh" to "Wow!" -- including that famous 6-3 upset of the No.1 Tide. Sometimes it requires a little "encouragement" from the seniors to the youngsters to get their heads together.
I heard there was a big pile up of falling bodies as they rushed out of the conference room.
Maybe he told them screw it I’ll call the plays. I could get behind that an assume the players might too.
At least they are doing something.
I could've sworn several times in past baseball seasons, some players' only meetings had discernably positive results; 2nd half surges, deeper than expected tournament runs, and even a CWS 2013. Clearly the 22, and 23 seasons and meetings were disasters.
Did I imagine their being meetings when that wasn't the case?

Well, to make it game-week related, the Cocks had a players-only meeting back in '92 when Steve Taneyhill was their QB (and good ole Sparky Woods the HC), in the days leading up to our game with them. Ole 4-1 MSU rolled into Columbia to play the 0-5 Gamecocks. Well, the mulleted wonder must have led a rousing players-only meeting, because did it ever work. They got their first win, and we make headlines for all the wrong reasons.

I look for positive, motivated team energy on Saturday. Followed by a couple of three and outs and a strip sack.
Time to put away the fat girlfriends and the fish sandwiches
They were not ready to play and that's on them. They needed to have a player meeting only at half.
We need a coaches meeting, that includes new offensive staff...
Will announced he will be resigning his job as starting QB and will become the new offense coordinator. Talk about a win - win **
I will say it again. When you hire an OC, he should be the one bringing in his people. We did the opposite. We hired a OL coach and then a WR coach before we hired an OC.
Theres a video from this weekend where 2 Veteran OTs are pulling..... they pulled in opposite directions. That OL is very confused on what they are doing. I have seen the center straight up move to help a double team while the blitz is running right over him.... untouched to the QB.
In another part of the country, a coach kicked off about 55 to 70 players. The new staff has that team humming! They know what they are doing on assignments, on routes, on blocking, on defense!
70 new players that had to learn that offense.... in the same time frame that our very veteran team is lost.
It's coaching
Prime has 86 new players on that team... Crazy.
Yeah 9 times out of 10 players only meetings don’t work like the one in Remember the Titans. It usually means you just suck.
