If we have a 1-11 or worse year, i cannot imagine what anybody could point to as improvement.

My metric is always wins. "You are what your record says you are."

But I also care about how the team looks. I never thought Bailiff would be able to sustain winning because 1) he didn't at Texas State, and 2) his teams always looked sloppy and disorganized to me. After 2009, I was ready to let him go. Although I will be disappointed if we don't improve materially this year, I think it is reasonable to give Bloomgren the same three years that I gave Bailiff. Certainly after year two, I still didn't believe his approach would work, but I was willing to give him a chance. For me, 2009 was that chance and he flunked it.

I want to see a team that plays crisply and executes flawlessly (or as close to flawlessly as possible). If we get that, against the caliber of opponents in CUSA, I think the record will take care of itself.

What is flawless execution?

what is crispness?

Well...
I was asking sincerely. The issue I have is trying to understand what expectations are and what people look for.
As an example, a receiver can be taught to run an out. And to run that out, they need to take 10 steps and be at 12 yards and roll over their outside plant foot and carry their speed through the cut. They may execute it crisply and flawlessly. And the QB took his 5 step drop and threw the ball without a hitch and threw it to the perfect spot where the receiver should be with his 12 yard route. The problem is that if the flat coverage jumps the route and gets a pick 6. The result is a crappy play that was executed crisply and flawlessly. If the QB and receiver are graded on executing what they were taught then they graded out well even though the play didn't work. Or do you grade out the play and fail the players. Or fail the OC for calling an out against that particular coverage.
This has always been a pet peeve of mine. Teach what is really important and execute success. Not static steps for a dynamic process.

I was not insincere. I do not know what his definition of crispness is. i don't even know how I would define it.
