If i got the right one, that sounds too much like Tom Allen, LEO. :)

It certainly looks like they aren’t buying in. If they are not buying into his offense, then it’s time for A$$ meets bench. I’d rather have 5 walk ons who buy into the offense and get run out of the gym, that guys that aren’t on board. Devries needs to get control of his team or he’s finished.

Things that are overplayed: 1) The IU fans are the problem 2) Getting rid of a coach “too soon” is the problem 3) Cheerleader uniforms 4) All we need is NIL money

Why does “top 10 nil” get us there? Didn’t Woodson have top NIL and got us nowhere? You need more than rent a players.

Look, yes it takes time. And I am willing to give the guy time. HOWEVER, there are signs that Devries is in over his head. I have said it a 100 times — the model is down the hall. Cig brought most of his staff and a core group of players and worked from there. Devries started with nothing, took time to hire assistants, thus botching the portal. Why, why, why? WTF is that? Aren’t assistants and transition discussed at the interview? How the hell can that happen? Ok fine, strike one. So he ends up with a team of portal scraps. Problem is he runs them out there like a rec team — shooting stupid long threes from the logo early in the shot clock. There is nothing coordinated on offense — and once again we go minutes without scoring. At what point do you adjust, try something else? Strike two. we are just waiting for that last strike.

Why didn’t he bring a few WVA players, like most coaches do?

Dude we just got pantsed by a crap Iowa team at home.

Now there is a troll if I ever heard one. :)

Anyone remember why Devries didn’t bring any WVA players. That’s the key to many of these coaching moves — they have a core of their guys to start

You have to have a system to put the players in. If you listen to Cig he always talks “we” but he is including his years going back to Indiana PA. They do this, they do that. He has a system. Each position is taught and refined a particular set of skills. They coach the chit out of them. Then they prepare and adjust. Devries doesn’t appear to have that. No system. So a bunch of paid to players look completely disjointed. What is frustrating is he has the model sitting down the hall. Just copy it.

Yeah great players make good coaches. But how are we going to attract great players? Has to be more than money.

Rec league baby. :)

Kicking our a$$ at home.

I hope I am wrong, but I am not seeing it. Doesn’t seem that he’s coaching to the talent he has. Team does the best when it’s moving and screening. But that is very intermittent. Continues to allow the chuck and duck. Crap like that isn’t going to get it done.

Screw that. Play hard, don’t stink and the fans will be behind you. Chit Daniel Moore is still a “legend.” :)
