When the talent on the team is not the issue, but rather whether or not the talent will show up and do their job, then that’s entirely on coaching.
Coaches (are supposed to) mentally prepare the team and put them in position to succeed. That’s their job and it’s incredibly important in the game of football. The travesty @UNI was blatant malpractice.
These student-athletes aren’t mentally prepared like they should be (or could be) on a consistent basis. They cower in big games in hostile environments. Not saying USD in the old DakotaDome is hostile, but certainly not friendly.
I agree- need Lennon to be available weekly (or someone else capable) so things get done around here.
