AuburnEagle79 2,168 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Not sure how UCF receivers have been in the past as far as getting to and making it in the league, but I sure know how they are gonna be within a couple seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So in effect, every second of practice time spent on running routes they would never run in a game was wasted. Smh. Congrats to UCF -- he's all yours(!)

Howard Roark 195 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I have heard 2nd hand that Chip Lindsey complained about the offensive game plan being scaled way back every Friday. So yeah, they would practice one thing all week and then only run a very limited version of what they practiced on Saturday. In all seriousness, this is why the players often talked preseason about how dangerous the offense was going to be, only to see the same old thing rolled out there during the season.

WarDamnEagleWDE 12,737 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I've been telling you people this for years. year(S). Like over 5. The game plans have also been changed the night before games a bunch of times. Practiced all week and didn't use any of it. I've said this time and time again, when the stuff leaks out what went on, you will all know why I dislike Gus and most of his staff as much as I do / did.

CoffeeTiger 5,108 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Maybe I'm missing something, but why would Gus and company do something like this? Was Gus just insecure in the game plan or overthinking things to the point he would only want to do the same simple strategy every time? I don't get it.

DAG 33,983 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Is this some self sabotage stuff ? I remember hearing that he changed the Clemson game plan previous the day before the game but to continuously do this crap. Smh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were talking about him this morning and I was telling her how Gus had destroyed all the enthusiasm that I used to have she said," it'll be better, he's gone now."

When he posts something, deposit it in the bank and write checks on it But when he posted that the first time, even I doubted it being true. NOW, I would like to hear the rest of the story. Maybe WDE can funnel it through Ellitor in a PM, or someone else if it put E in a bad position. I am sure I am not the only one that would like to hear about it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember hearing that he changed the Clemson game plan previous the day before the game but to continuously do this crap. Smh My thought is that GM simply did not know how to plan a strategic game against a tough opponent. I know we snuck a few upsets in there during his tenure, but once 2013 was over, real college coaches weren’t fooled and knew how to out coach him. He may do well at UCF if he is willing to rethink some of his plans. I’m just glad we finally have a chance to move on with a guy that has real college HC experience, even if it takes him a couple of years to acclimate to the SEC. I think he will change our football program from the better, because if he is a bit nervous, chances are we won’t notice it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because we were believed to be inferior to those teams. And, for the most part, we were. Really, those upsets just proved that we had way more talent than our game plans suggested on a weekly and annual basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
