Subject: Re: Let all the kids play and have some fun! Author: Sprint66 [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 21:21:35 11/01/09 Sun In reply to: Floridared 's message, "Re: Princeton 17 Cornell 13" on 20:56:39 11/01/09 Sun Florida Red, I don't know the answer. I am fine with losing if we're at least playing competitive football and building for the future, but four blowouts prior to the Princeton game is unbelievable. I feel so badly for the players. The coaches are paid professionals, but the players work so hard and deserve a good season. What we should do for the rest of the season is just play ALL the kids and do the best they can. I mean clear the benches, let all the seniors and underclassman get in the next three games. At least they'll have fun and get some real game day experience. We don't have a chance to finish in the upper half of the league. What do we have to lose??? [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

I have always admired this coaching staff as they do seem like a good group of guys. For what ever reason it's not transferring into wins come game day. However, the team is there for the student-athletes, not the coaches and while it's ultimately up to the coaches, I think the best tactic at this point is to give everyone playing time and close out the season on a high note.

Author: Floridared [Edit] Date Posted: 09:43:23 11/02/09 Mon I understand what you're saying but again the coaches are getting paid to win not at that the pleasure of getting everyone playing time. I really think this staff just can't get it done. Their best seasons were with players brought in by the former staff. Cornell has been mediore far too long, I'd like to see a staff given another opportunity.
