To run this scheme, the guys upfront need to be studs and we don’t have those horses yet. I think there should be different looks depending on the opponent some 3-3-5 or 4-3 and it should change based on the feel of the game. We don’t have the quality 3 upfront to just run a 3-3-5 constantly. Let’s bring in some stout guys up front and then play to our strengths!
That’s nearly every possession when we don’t move the ball or he makes a questionable read.
I was at the game so obviously I couldn't see his face. But, last night I saw the espnu replay and when I saw Marion's face to me it looked like he was saying "C'mon man, my grandma could have made that read". lol
Marion for sure does that every game, but me and others are crazy for pushing for a portal QB that Marion may have connections too and knows to come in and compete with Maiava.
We don't have the players to run the 3-3-5 correctly. I have a feeling with all the players on Defense jumping in to the portal we will replace ASAP with quality players.
I hope it is not that side-arm slinging QB from the JC rank. I know that they are looking for a dual threat QB for Marion's offense but that player is not MWC caliber. Definitely not someone who will compete with Maiava. So it have to be somebody else.
Dunno, nobody thought DeJesus was MWC caliber, much less an All American second teamer.
Not a single person say that about DeJesus on this board.
I saw that. And here is the thing sadly. Coach Fisch is considered cool and fun to play for. Another thing is that Arizona has an established reputation. Lots of kids that dont get offers from SC go to Arizona because thats the next best thing and the scene out there is "fun."
Just have to be patient.
I know Arroyo and Sanchez went for the razzle dazzle, cool factor in selling the program and look how they did. They went heavy on social media with the jersey crap and other superficial stuff. Yielded tremendous results.
Change. You can get someone to change who they are on the inside until about the age of 8. But when people reach adulthood they are generally fixed in place. Yes, if they find the Lord they can change. And if they get sober they can change. A near death experience can sometimes generate change. And here and there you can find exceptions. But most folks just are who they are. Odom appears to be a hard working, no-nonsense type of man and that is the way he'll be. Nobody is ever going to say he's "cool". But for me, I prefer "winner".
And Vegas is already a pretty cool place to play, especially in Allegiant Stadium. Not sure UNLV necessarily needs a “fun” coach to attract kids to LV. There’s plenty of glitz and fun in the city and around the program. Probably better to balance that with a more business-like coach.
If Im not mistaken, alot of coaches are at AFCA right now before the National title game similar to the ones held before the Final 4. BM is speaking there and Napier mustve been hearing the rumblings or at least mentioned something about it... Barry Odom is as well
Considering that hes publicly also said hes returning to UNLV and was happy about it, yeah.. although getting an offensive minded coach like Napier to comment on what your doing Im sure is rather flattering, even if you're not considering a move this year.
Without knowing him or the context, it appears very unprofessional. This does seem to be his MO, based on comments from fans at his previous stops (Pitt).
So what do you think Odom will do to Marion because of these tactics? Sit him down? Warn him?
What will he do to him? Don’t see any reprimanding taking place here, especially publicly.
Odoms like a good manager... let his supervisors deal with their departments so he can make the buisness run.. he's not going to say anything because that's part of coaching. Always has been, some coaches are more expressive than others, as long as you aren't crossing that line...
I agree that their approaches are polar opposites. Its kind of interesting to see tbh
