Quote:So it's only on the coordinator for those issues?

 

I will agree the players were the greatest detriment to the performance.  You can have a great playcaller, but without good players it's going to be futile.  Part of the reason the players were out of position is because they aren't good enough in between their ears to understand the pro game.  We need new players.

You're missing my point.

 

No, it's not JUST on the coordinator.  It's a shared responsibility.  If you call the perfect play in a certain situation, and you've got a safety lining up in the wrong spot, or not knowing what he should do in certain situations, that's a problem with the player.  If they're practicing, installing game plans, meeting to make sure players are prepared, and they still come out lost, it's partly on them for not being focused on the details, and it's on the coaches because they didn't find a way to drill it in sufficiently.
