Very generalized, but I have to get this off my chest.
Seems like Memphis is blessed with very stubborn coaches ~ West (boring, ineffective screens, ad finitum), Porter (generally, WTH???), and Fuente (conservative, conservative; no Karam??? WHAT would it have hurt to play him some this year and give Lynch some time to rest and observe????), which drives the diehard fans NUTS!!!! REALLY is confusing and gets old. PLEASE give us some exciting football and turn the players LOOSE. We know we are short-handed and overmatched, but damn, give them a chance to win. We don't expect a lot of wins yet. For God's sake, throw DOWN the field.
We are on the right track with the right football coaching staff, but dang, throw us fans a little bone to keep us satisfied until the winning starts. We are at the breaking point.
Basketball ~ must be a Memphis thing. Players either play just enough to beat the competition ~ boring, or get stage fright about half the time and melt down, or surprise everyone and rise to the occasion and beat the stew out of a good team. We need some coaches to light a fire under our players, instill some mental toughness and confidence in them, and coach consistently. DON'T bench our best players and LET OUR BENCH PLAY. I'm hestitant to say it, but I'm noting unexplained stubborness in our bb coach, too, and general WTH coaching.
It's very hard to be a Tiger fan. This is fun???? I'm tired...... end of rant.
