The Coach Who Never Punts (Or Kicks Deep)

topnotch Wrote:If you have the athletes you can do what you want to. If you don't I think you would look like a goat. I wonder what the math would look like if you injected quality of athletes into the equation? I bet the math would look quiet different if you had no speed and the receiving team had exceptional return men or vice versa. I think it would be real stupid to have a super speedser set on the sidelines and let the ball roll down the field when the other team punts the ball . Since the receiving team can't let the ball just roll down the field on the kick offs the other team would recover . The coach has to either teach the players how to catch the ball or recover it each time, I am not a screaming sideline coach but if coach Herron used that method I would be ejected and if he indicated he was going to continue to do that I would draw the line. I would find another team to support or If I couldn't I would go to Forrest Lanes or watch Fox News. Besides football games are not just about winning scores it is watching athletes preform wheather it is the great back returning the football or the punter booming it into the next county.

Whaaat??? You lost me at "If".

If it's not about "winning scores". Then why in the hell do they have those big scoreboards at EVERY field in the Nation and why do they give out Championships?

Just because he doesn't do it the traditional way. Doesn't make him wrong or an idiot. If I were a parent there. Yeah, I prolly woulda went ape crazy when he started implementing that system and I'm sure most of them did. But, I will say. I have much Respect for a Head Coach that does it HIS way. Wether he succeeds or fails.

It didn't go into tons of detail. But, I would say that once he gets large leads on teams. He prolly squibbs in down the field or if he truely "never punts", he prolly keeps it on the ground on 4th down.
