Fundamentals Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 Vintage Crean. Subtle shift of blame to the players and away from him. Crean likes to talk. I’m old school. I like a coach that makes statements with on-floor product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fundamentals Posted February 11, 2019 Report Share Posted February 11, 2019 And nobody expected much from his team year one. Why call players out? Handle it quietly heading into off-season. One aspect of Archie I appreciate: the public doesn’t need to know all behind the scenes drama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In football that is nothing in football.....oh and Smart just lost a high profile QB to tOSU via transfer. Just sayin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColtsIUDomer Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 WE are probably making more out of this than GA fans..He could say he was lighting them on fire and his current fanbase would only care if they landed that 5 star running back. Football school. He might be there forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UGA fans were tickled pink with him. Crean does that, he will be a God in Athens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be mediocre and get paid pretty well, there are a lot worse places that Athens to be. For sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure. Unless Tom turns the program around in say 3 years and they get a taste of success and the Dawg fans want more. It happened at Tennessee several times. Looks as though FCTC has a pretty good class coming in next year. He will be fine as long as the football team is doing well...LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy River Posted February 13, 2019 Report Share Posted February 13, 2019 Sometimes I really don't understand this board. We complain about soft players and then about coaches if they don't handle said players with kid gloves. Earlier this season, Painter was accused of throwing his kids under the bus in a press conference, and half of this board (and yes, Eastern's mom as well) laughed at or poo poo'd him for it. Meanwhile Archie tells us he's not disappointed after the Iowa game. A quick look at the B1G standings will tell you that maybe one coaches method is better than the other's.

Sometimes I really don't understand this board either. A thread about Crean and somehow, someway Archie gets brought up in it. Not only that put Painter does as well.
