just tried of this excuse when losing to a double digit underdog, it's his job to make them execute. Sounds just like Bobby.

No CJF, what you need to do is quit taking that opposing sideline for granted. They are there to win, you apparently are there to not be the bad guy.

Does FSU not have a Football SID anymore?
How do you allow this guy to say this stuff? If I am a parent of a recruit and I am reading this I am thinking "I called the correct plays, they did not execute them correctly".

I believe Jimbo is just citing a problem that is universal. When one thinks about it, ANY failure of implementation of a plan is due to lack of proper and effective execution.
What I see is perhaps a tendency to try and implement the same solutions to problems that he's tried before, and was less than successful with.
Hopefully, this will become even more apparent to him and he will take another tack. Perhaps some of the plans he puts in place are just too complex for 18-21 year olds to grasp, causing them to fall short of the goal.
We'll see over the next 6 games or so. I still stick with my original prediction of a 9-3 season. Hope I'm dead wrong - in a positive way.

His main fault is being brutaly honest. He can sometimes be blunt and to the point of rubbing people the wrong way. I still think he is the man for the job.Hejust needs to let the players make plays. I do believe he coached poorly Saturday. Let's see if he and the team can bounce back the rest of the season.

When 3 or 4 of their players could start for your team (offense and defense)...and you lose, it's called being out-coached. Is there a mirror anywhere for him to stare at? I think he is a very talented recruiter, and he is a class guy, but he may need to get an O/C in here. This is the same thing the gators did to shut us down last year...bull rush a weak line.
So much for the season y'all. CB

Here's the thing. When you have 11 guys executing a play, there is going to be some lack of execution on almost every play.
If you call plays that can only work if all 11 guys execute perfectly, then (a) most of your plays will get stuffed for no gain or a loss, and (b) it will always be technically accurate to say a lack of execution caused the failure.
Thats stubborn play calling, and that's what we're getting.
You must call plays designed to make it as easy as possible--that is, you need a gameplan that allows success with imperfect execution.
So, like, if the other team is blitzing, you can either (a) ask you offensive line to perfectly execute picking up complex blitzes on every single down--and then blame sacks (accurately, yes) on lack of execution, or you can (b) adjust your play calling to get them out of the blitz or to keep extra blockers in. Jimbo does (a) every time.
And it ALWAYS leaves the lack-of-execution excuse intact.
If your gameplan requires perfect execution to succeed, you will usually fail, but you'll always be able to blame your players.

Someone needs to tell him its his job to get the players to execute. It all comes back to him. What's funny when the stadium is empty on Saturday jimbo will want to complain. We kept our end its time for him to keep his.
