[QUOTE="illini62707, post: 1509311, member: 655203"] I would agree with what Ayo, said. However, these guys haven't understood from the first game what's at stake and how to get their. They read and see these press clippings about how good they're gonna be this year and come unprepared mentally and physically for the fight. If your not ready to play each game from start to finish unless your talent far exceeds your opponents you have a good chance at losing. This is where i do hold the staff responsible. You have to know your players, including their mindset toward the game and opponents. If the staff has to ride herd over the players on a daily basis to keep them focused then it has to be done. I'm not talking about screaming at them all practice. And if you wait for some 18-22 year olds to get it, then you might wait yourself right out of a job. As a coach i'm going to give them what they need. Some don't need you to be on all the time, but some do. [/QUOTE]
