Correct me if I am wrong but didn’t CTH say last year say our receivers were slow, bad hands etc. during practice and as it turned out NOT! CTH would not let a bad practice happen without consequences to the players and his assistant coaches.
While not like Levine’s in any manner, there have been execution issues…especially with dropped passes. But, it’s the first friggin week of pads and they are whupped! CTH understands that and has tempered his harshest criticisms to this point. I haven’t been there, but do get first hand reports from someone who is. No need for concern at this point.
Keeping the bar high is difficult for people with a loser’s mentality to recognize. Always focusing on what needs improvement, rather than resting on the laurels of what went well, will keep winners hungry to win more. Any analysis we have seen or will see out of these coaches, and hopefully their players, is a far cry from a crushing deflation of their egos; rather it is constantly seeking improvement and constantly striving toward goals, and not allowing anyone to just cruise their way into goals.
