I agree here. This is not a “ get rid of the coach” conversation. It’s just venting about the coaching. How can they be so extreme! ?Man handle Iowa , then lay an egg.
You maybe right , Sheridan could be classified as a hot commodity with this kind of play calling. I get it now, thanks.
So, let me get this straight ,Allen needs to up the ante next year for this coach to try to fend off the big school offers?
You are not wrong. But the teams that Leo played, so far ,have not warranted passing. Passing for the sake of passing sometimes will get you in more trouble. Stay simple if it’s run run run ,and stay with what works. Seems like this is Lions philosophy. Working so far.
Indiana needs more than a good QB. They have QB’s that the coaching staff recruited. They need to use who they offered scholarships to. It’s not players,they need a Coach who knows how to call a game , and set up an offense that will work and be successful. And I’m not talking about WINS here. Sheridan is in way over his head, and it is more glaring every game. Essentially the same players back from last year and look at them now. A shell of what they were in wins or losses this year.
The Jasper offense scheme can be debated for its weaknesses until forever. All offense have weaknesses. And all types of offensive schemes can go deep into the tournament and win. Good coaches put in what they think would be good ,with the abilities of the players they have to work with ,in any given year. That said.
5 turnovers has “L” written all over it. If they were playing a weaker team maybe you don’t lose. But another good team took advantage. In hindsight Jasper has a very good team.
Man the caliber of opponents this year and the added high school play calling by Indiana has done the team morale in. Could not have been a better perfect storm to doom this team. From the first game ass kicking, Allen was never able to put the team back on track, grasping for straws all the way.
And to think temptation was saying they would win 6 or 7 games. He must have reach for the wrong pipe.
You ever listen to one of the most successful coaches in NCAA’s history. He never passed the football! Three things can happen when you pass and two of the three are bad. Why pass?
One of the really exciting 1st round match ups along with others ,Jasper/ Northview being just one of the others, that maybe wouldn’t of happened with the 1vs6 or 1vs8 boring seeding games.
Well it’s D-Day for the Hoosiers. I hope they give a good account of themselves. Not remotely optimistic about a win, but I sure would like to see the offense solve some problems ,for the remainder if their schedule. Then finish on an upbeat. Man it must be hard right now to be in a positive frame of mind. Like a multiple time NCAA champion basketball coach said for college athletes, the mental too the physical is as 4 is to 1.
I’m going to throw Jasper into the thread here. Although they might not get out of their sectional. Relatively quiet for the last decade or so they seem to be thriving in their new conference. They certainly aren’t as show time tested as East central, Chatard or Roncalli or even teams in their own conference. But they do have a coach who has been and knows the scenery in high profile match ups. The Germans have the athletes in their school , winning the big boy baseball state this year. I don’t know , but they seem to be going about their business down there in a workman like fashion.
