"Yeah. With Chiznik We Will Be In No Longer Be In Danger Of Winning The Fulmer Cup"
|
Edited by Author at 4/9/2009 - 11:35 a.m.
CONTEXT ADDED BY ADMIN:
END OF CONTEXT
Chizik has already proven that he is at least an all-world DC. So, maybe no cattle, but at least some goats....and a few sheep.
"ISU" was angry not because he was there, but because he left.
Discipline is incredibly important. And, discipline, just like most (all?) other things, is first learn in elementary things - like learning to make your bed...or line up your helmets.
and I will be happy to say good bye to all the thugs that we've had the past ten years. Oh wait.. I guess now we will have negative points in the Fulmer cup. I tend to agree with Mark at the Auburner on this discipline thing:
Discipline is huge. I agree that discipline results in fewer penalties. Fewer penalties result in more wins.
However, I doubt you can draw a link between not wearing hats around the athletic complex and fewer penalties.
I do not know whether Chiznik will be successful, but then again neither does he. But I do know what success looks like and the difference between success and failure. I am not so sure that Winning Gene knows the difference, however. Because when you have someone make this quote, after going 5-19 as a head coach,:
To Chizik, success is success. It doesn't seem to occur to him that he might be considered anything other than successful at every stop of his career.
"I've been doing this for 23 years," Chizik told the lunch-time crowd. "I've never been fired. I've never taken a job I sought. They've always sought me.
"I believed if you worked hard and did things right the opportunity would come to me. And in 23 years, I've never made a bad decision. I've never failed in this position."
you have to seriously question whether the guy knows the difference between success and failure. He's never made a bad decision? Never? What type of person says that?
I mean to say what type of person says that without taking out ball bearings and rolling them around in his hands?
If he's never made a bad decision, then why did he feel it necessary to demote his two coordinators at the end of the 2008? If he's never failed, then why did he fail to win a conference game in 08, despite not playing the three best teams in the BIG XII? How did his ISU team fail to stay with 27 points of the mighty 08 Baylor Bears. How did he fail to beat a Division 1-AA team in 07? How did he not only fail to improve ISU's defensive stats, but allow ISU defensive stats to actually get worse over his two year stint as ISU's HC? (I will help in answering that last one, the answer would be Wayne Bolt).
I don't have the time or inclination to parse all the ISU football stories, but the general consensus is that ISU sidelines looked like a Chinese fire drill and that times out were consistently wasted. Maybe with some better assistant coaches and better talent Chinzick will do better. He would just about have to.
