cougarmeister How does this work?

7-0 this year doesn't make him immune to criticism.

When you have one of your upperclassman team captains publicly stating that the OL had no coaches teaching them what to do and that the OL coach specifically delegated those teaching duties to him (Pay), no matter how much you like Kalani, that's something he should have seen & corrected a long time before he did.

In regard to Connor Pay's comments WHERE was our head coach?

That's a HUGE indictment of previous OL coach. Connor doesn't sugar-coat it.

That's a HUGE indictment of the head coach.

yeah, some of both, makes you wonder what the OL coach was doing

I think it's an indictment of how he handled that situation, yes.

You mean our 7-0 head coach...lol at the hand wringing from last year

The Chief

9:27am

7-0 this year doesn't make him immune to criticism.

10:09am

That's lost on ALL the Kalani defenders.

gopman

10:52am

He's our coach...why wouldn't everyone defend a 7-0 coach that is ranked 11th?

The Chief

11:05am

Because, even though we're undefeated, we aren't leading the league in rebounds too. Winning is great.. but we have to

HarlemCoug

because somehow, apparently, its possible to be better than 7-0

You CAN do both be excited for the year (thank you Jay Hill!) AND

Exactly - gopman give us one staff move Kalani is CURRENTLY messing up

So you're criticizing Gundy as well?
