I think you missed the point. Also, I never accused him of saying that.

I’m just saying when you’re paid a good amount for your job, one that many could only dream of having, you should be able to take criticism. That applies to the whole team.

even nick sabans players lost focus when they were doing really good

We don’t have the margin for error Nick Saban’s Alabama teams had. They could lose 1 game and make a 4 team playoff.

if we win the conference we’ll still get a bye in the playoffs. we do have that luxury this year.

FieroCoug

I've also heard Saban say this multiple times. But Bama could afford to lose one

wrong. BYU can still win the conference and get a bye with 1 loss.

Have you ever played on a sports team?

I get a sense that most have not

A lot of us did, and some of us were very lucky to be on really good teams.

Brisket

Many have. I did. My class had a ton of success for many reasons but mainly because the resilience I see in this team

You act like this is something new. A lot of people were posting after Oklahoma State. Same with the Utah game.

Cracks in an undefeated team? Yes, most do have cracks. Not hard to find. What’s impressive is they win games in a tough

Happens. That’s why teams hardly ever go 12-0. I know my focus was off at work watching all the Ute meltdown news

Yep - they are kids playing a game.

Happens to pros as well. Even doctors and lawyers. You as well, I would bet.

And they pay the price for that in criticism, demotion or job loss.

So what punishment do you want to happen to our players.

NYCougz

Nov 17, 10:30pm

I can't answer that because I don't have enough information.

DeepCCoug

Nov 17, 10:47pm

So if Jake makes $100K, he should give back some for each poor performance?

NYCougz

Nov 17, 10:55pm

He should be told his remuneration for next year will be cut accordingly.

You know they were expected to win 4 games, right? This season is a major

NYCougz

No, but he can be expected to be able to take criticism without pulling the “We’re just college kids,” card.

Brisket

Jake hasn’t ever said that…chill out

Brisket

I would reread your comment since it implies you did

arcawley

10:13am

I like Jake, I think he’s a great guy. I simply think the whole team can be subject to criticism. They’re paid athletes.

Brisket

Glad to know I’m not the only one.

Hard to focus on practice when you're off doing tons of interviews along with regular college life Jake..maybe tone

CLCougar

Stupid comment

arcawley

Why?

CharlottesvilleCoug

I'm definitely open to your explanation for the clear drop-off in Jake's accuracy and decision-making since the UCF game

CLCougar

You can’t throw the “stupid comment” out there with no explanation or reasoning and be expect to be taken seriously.

Brisket

People are reading way too much into those comments.

Rumor is he got his extension after the Utah game... Seat is no longer hot, undisciplined coaching returns

It's not just a matter of focusing

Plus, you can be focused and still lose based off of luck and matchups.
