For the few that have been to a UM practice

They are standard CFB practices. Organization and desire are not BFA's problems. He has no clue how to game plan and has no feel for the game.

A head coach should not have to game plan, that is the coordinators responsibility. That is where AG's blindside is, You can't micromanage everything. If the game planner can't plan, than plan to get someone else. Assistants will make or break him. If he can clean that up he will be fine. Hopefully for all our sakes he learn that sooner then later.

Just wonder if the first team offense plays against the first team defense . Seems like in practice the offense and defense is great in reviews. We here from recruits at there visits how well practice is run.

1's vs 1's should only happen during Spring and Bowl game prep.

That's how the Boss coaches do it. Saban, Meyer, Kelly, Harbaugh etc
 
Practices are fantastic.

The D ends practice the depths on their backpeddle while the safeties back 30 yards off the ball ....Cover 3 Heaven baby.

you can tell they have tried to incorporate the routine of the past.. many short position drill periods ended by airhorn then rotate to another, then eventually rotate into 7 on 7's, 11 on 11's...lots of special team drills ongoing within all this...

On game weeks scout team is incorporated into the mix..our scout teams are horrendous, dont give a very good look IMO, especially at qb...

offensively, our offense this year in practice is a lot like games, Morris throwing A LOT downfield ( a lot of success on greentree)and runs, no real intermediate stuff,,maybe they may want to start doing more third down drills.. they do a lot more field position and time based stuff, than down and distance..

defensively not a lot of contact, honestly was drinking the kool aid when I went, wish I was paying more attention.. I thought the dline was finally starting to look right, especially hoillett(lol), he looked the part, so did figs, denzel, guess not...

Very well organized though and good tempo, they do oklahomas sometimes and the one on one fire off and push thing they do before games..

I could tell through bad tackling in games. That they don't tackle much in practice normally

I've seen a few.

Practices are organized and time is used wisely. Lots of hands on coaching and teaching, not just whistleblowers and meaningless reps. Up tempo, it's impressive to see, actually.

I've seen Golden involved in whatever group he's supervised, always liked that about him. Kehoe is intense (I know, shocker)

I'll add, if you've ever attended a camp on GreenTree, practices are pretty much the same.
 
There's a lot to like about this staff. Definitely a more organized operation on all fronts than we've had in the past. We just have total noobs as coordinators. Coley still has some upside, but I hate how stiff we were on both sides of the ball. Why would you run a system that doesn't match your personnel?

I remember going to practice in the late eighties and was quite amazed how violent it was for a practice.Probably why they played ****ed off.

Judging by our lack of tackle and hard blocks, I am guessing the is almost no actual hitting anymore. I think Al said, when talkinga bout being surprised how hrad Sandland ran after catching the ball, that they don't take players to the groung in practice. I know we use too. The old practices had more hits than the games -- they were wars. Loves the Blades brothers going at it. I think it would continue in the locker room. Now I bet it is more hugging and waving as runners go by -- you play how you pracitce they say.
