John seems like you’re reaching very far to be correct. I do care about winning, but no matter what I do with my team my ceiling this season is 5-8. The other 8 big East schools are far superior at the moment. I could play my seniors and lose by 30 compared to 90, but a loss is still a loss. The only advantage from that is being ranked slightly better. What does that do for my future? My goal is increase my freshman classes work ethic, figure out how to maximize their FIQ and core points to be ready for year 2 and definitely by year 3. It’s very realistic for a coach to do something like this. My biggest gripe about big classes is abandoning your team after a big class. Or using it when there’s no reason to. SD does this with big schools too, sacrificing himself for 3 seasons just to peak 1 season. It’s just silly man, all I’m asking is for is a cap.
I’m running sweeps and QB draws because my FIQ is too low to throw with. QB subbing is smart. Fire and injuries are turned off. If they were turned ON I would have a different strategy to avoid being fired. QB subbing is way down the list of loopholes. Art Briles of Baylor used to tell his receivers to stay there while the other side of the field worked combinations to get a rest.
