Half these dudes are going to be in the transfer portal
How do you go from being the greatest QB prospect in 20 years, a possible Heisman candidate and top 10 draft pick...
To probably having no football career in just a little over a week?
Dude we’ve got to stop this stuff every week lolIf he starts the game, we win.

It’s MTSU and JJ had his bumps his first year.Nothing changed, it's an inconsistent team, mostly because most of these guys are inconsistent in how they approach the game and preparation. I doubt these same coaches magically forgot how to coach in one week either. That said, getting guys to buy in week in and week out is tough when you have guys that have been in the program for 2-4 years that are used to being able to do stupid crap. I wouldn't be shocked if a lot of these guys have started to tune out the hard coaching, because they are soft as **** and aren't committed to doing whatever it takes to win every week. It's easy to get up for TAMU, it's not easy to bring the same kind of focus and dedication for MTSU week. That's a test of character, and let's be honest, we knew coming in a lot of these guys are soft.
Ever wonder why Jimmy Johnson never had these games? Ever wonder why Nick Saban never had these games, once he got his culture established? Guys at Bama know that if you aren't doing your job at a high level EVERY SINGLE DAY, someone is going to take your job and you will never get it back. That's culture. For the last 20+ years, that culture hasn't been at Miami, and it's going to take Mario longer than 8 months to get that going. It's going to take recruiting kids that have that kind of attitude, it's going to take building legitimate leaders to where the expectations are there even when coaches and support staff aren't in the room(People forget that coaches only spend 20 hours per week with the players), it's going to take a lot of things. Those things won't happen overnight, unfortunately we have to suffer through days like this, but Mario has shown as a coach that he can instill that culture. He didn't accomplish what he did at Oregon by accident, especially coming off the Helfrich and Taggart years...
RightProblem is most teams from jr high on don’t practice it.
