I've never coached, so I don't know what all goes into season and week to week preparation. As an observer, one thing that stands out to me is that coaches whose teams seem dialed in on the details throughout the game seem to have teams that perform well overall. Mack Brown needed to go, but something that has stood out in stark contrast between his teams and our teams since is how good Mack's teams were on details throughout the game. When to use a timeout, when to spike the ball or go hurry up, special teams just generally being prepared for all situations, lack of penalties, when to fake a punt or expect a fake, when to rush to get out of bounds to save clock, etc. Mack's teams, and other well coached teams that I watch, are just obviously sharper on these things than Charlie's or Herman's teams ever were. I don't think those things are why their teams don't perform well, but I think these are highly visible symptoms of coaches who do/don't prepare their team well overall. Our play on the field shows and obvious lack of fundamental development and preparation for our opponent, other than possibly bowl games. We also just do not play situationally smart football in many cases, which tells me we're not being coached on situational awareness within games. All of that tells me that how we're approaching coaching and preparation as a team is flawed, and that starts at the top regardless of coordinators. The best coaches are just better at utilizing the time they have with their teams to prepare them to play, and that's most evident in the tiny situational details that their teams get right or flail on. I'm tired of flailing.
