Psychology book circulating through team

[jsneb83]

all interesting stuff, but i wonder how or what is being done to get our "edge" back?........you know, being sharp, eliminating the mental errors, etc.

i love those staff jobs that every program needs to "fill out" the organizational chart, but.........where's the pay back?

 

I think it's why we've been reading about some pretty drastic changes in overall management of the team this past offseason like putting more ownership on the players etc. Heck, it took Osborne 20 years to perfect his system, and he has a phd in psychology. So I think Bo is gradully learning little tricks to the trade. I know he has T.O. to ask but at some point you want to do it yourself. As far as accountability and ownership going to the players, this will be Bo's first team of 100% his recruits, his guys, as well as 100% his staff, so I'm sure that makes is much easier for him to spread around the resposibilities now that the team is 100% his people. Not to mention, sometimes it takes a season like last year with some blowout losses and really frustrating moments to realize that changes of operation need to be made. I was young, but I remember the end of 1990. A 45-10 loss @ Oklahoma and another blowout loss to Georgia Tech, and it was like what the hell is going on, and the innovation that resulted led to the greatest run in history. Maybe we'll see it again?

Yes, my plan is complete. Success is endowed. I have been scheming this since Nov 14, 2009. Now I can relax.

This is how you get put on NCAA probation. I'm sweating bullets, hoping it's not one of those "recommended textbooks".

 

Maudie is that you and your girl/fiance/wife in your AV? You are a great looking couple.
