Selfish decision. Put his glory over that of the team. Just take the touchback.

Fordham Week Practice Thread: 2 September Coach Frost
- Thread starter Red Reign
- Start date
this is a great post. You've stated exactly what I've been feeling about Frost. He gets so hung up on guys being perfect practice players. Yes, guys need to practice well and have good habits, but there is so much more to an athlete in my opinion. Get your athletes on the field and give them hope and miraculously they'll practice better in some cases.

OK this one steps too far. An individual players practice habits are about 99% on that individual. Coaches can talk plead yell and everything else. But if the kid does not put in the effort that is on them.
Practice and work outs aren’t supposed to be fun. Do Navy Seals have fun in training?. I hate music especially rap so called songs when practicing. Practice field ..... moved to Junction Boys hostile environment. And removed green jersey crap.
When Osborn was the coach we practiced what we did so well, that it was largely irrelevant what the other team did. We were good at what we did. If he needs precise game planning to win games, he is not a good enough coach, and his scheme and system does not work. He should be able to have production regardless of what the other team does.
I think you are correct abut Frost, at this point in time. I think the last couple years Frost would stick with AM because he was "his guy", developing AM was one his top priorities, and he thought AM would work through things with more experience. This season, Frost knows he is under the gun and I think he would consider a change if he thought it would lead to more wins. The fact that there is no real competition at QB is the main problem currently. Even Illinois picked up a backup QB through the portal to shore up QB depth, and Sitkowski came in and played well enough to lead the Offense successfully. The reasons really don't matter at this point (transfers, development, recruiting misses, etc), but we don't seem to have any QBs ready to step up and play at a high level should Frost want to make a change, or if AM gets injured...
I have a better chance of being named “People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive” than Frost has of running the table.
I can't read his mind so I won't assign selfishness as the reason. But rules are there for a reason, and even though you can bend them ["I'll catch this one at the 9, even though 10 is the limit"], catching it at the 1 is no-go, every time.
That was John Wooden's approach, as well. We don't prepare for other teams. We perfect what we do and force them to prepare.
In short: If you just did something well on the field, act like it isn't the first time. Get back to your huddle and focus on the next play.
Gaaaaaggghhhh! Surrender Whites!
[FWIW I think it is great to honor the 9/11 folks, 100% endorsed. My only issue is with the design.]
