Something to think about...

[usfgrad84]

Been a long time.  Maybe Auburn.  Maybe Kansas last year.

Has nothing to do with playing perfect games.  A lot of our big wins and close losses have been ugly wins.  Even in our wins we always have a lot of things that you have to scratch your head about.  Clock management, bizarre play calls.  Strange personnel substitutions. 

FSU?  Definitely not a smartly played game.  We won basically on 2 plays and and a goal line stand.

I think it was ... Defensively, we played the converage deep.

We played very conservatively on Offense, because we could.

Smart on both sides. Not execution, but smart coaching.

Hmm. I have thought that a total of zero times. Even during our programs greatest wins I was thinking about how stupid our coaching was.

Makes sense.  :

I was wondering WTF .... until I saw the poster's name and see where you're coming form .... and if that's not where you were coming from it still made his post make sense.

I had about 5 different comments, but then decided to offer none, then that.  You just reach a point where things get so stupid you can't tell when someone is joking or not.  Ignorance is bliss, why disturb it?  Now excuse me, I have to get back to kicking butt on "Rookie" level.

Biggest wins?

Auburn: Delbert 2-6 on FGs. There were multiple very short yardage 4th downs deep in AU territory following Delbert's shanks 1 and 2. Convert one of them for a touchdown we never go to overtime. Yes, we won the game. Yay. But if you say you weren't pulling your hair out the entire time wondering wtf is wrong with Leavitt every time he trotted out DA again, you are a liar.

FSU: Great win, as mentioned, but against the worst FSU team in decades. Two blown coverage plays helped that one. Really, if the secondary was that bad, how did we only score 17?

WVU: Defensive TDs, Jarret Brown comes in and moved it pretty well. Big win, but again, if you think it that was solely on the coaches you might be confused. Grothe's scramble in the pocket before the TD bomb to Mitchell? That's not coaching.

We've been fortunate to win some big games, and I think a large majority of those wins (against equal or better teams) were generated by on-field gamesmanship (ie, Grothe finding ways to escape sacks and turn it into positives). Ask yourselves, is it great coaching that the former leading offensive weapon HAD to thrive in a broken down play?

Smart or dumb, ugly or pretty, skilled or lucky...I could care less how they get a W, just win baby.

Exactly . . .  :gobulls

I agree. Wins make me happy. I was just answering the OP's question.

Now, naked bootlegs, still going for the block after two fake special teams plays in a row and other similar situations in a loss are much more frustrating.

But in wins, they are called gutsy ... it comes down to execution more than coaching most of the time.
