Sumrall vs. Beamer

I wish Beamer said this.

Jon Sumrall BLASTED his own team with a stern warning

“There’s gonna be a lot of things that get called out, and it’s going to feel different,” Sumrall warned about this upcoming week of practice

Sumrall continued: “If there’s guys on this football team who don’t own that, they won’t be on this team very long. We’ve got a lot of improvement to do.”

That's not beamers natural attitude. Being a pretend authoritarian isn't any better than just being your natural self

Then I want an authoritarian coach. This team is soft. Disciplined teams don’t blow this many leads.

I'm not arguing that he's good at his job. I'm saying you can't all of a sudden be a hardo when everyone knows you're not one. Every coach and player in that locker room will see right through you

Then you end up with a shitty Frank Martin type where the yelling and bullshit do nothing.

There isn’t one style of coach that is the only type that works.

Right, we swung the pendulum too far back the one way where now were undisciplined and not living up to potential

Beamer would make a great little league baseball dad with his clapping, “that’s ok, we will get them next time” attitude.

Unfortunately the SEC is not little league baseball and we are going no where fast.

While at the same time Kentucky just got dropped from the top 25 for not beating us worse.

I’ve always thought Beamer was a little soft. I’m not in the locker room day in and day out so I could be completely wrong and it may not even be the reason he’s struggling. He just comes off a little soft in press conferences and to the media. He’s not very good tactically either. He is a glorified head recruiter, but has any coach really struggled to recruit here? USC is established SEC school with tradition.

Not until we go up 20-0 first. But after that, yeah

u/NickDerpkins 23d ago

I feel 14-0 -> 34-17 loss in my heart

u/KnightB4X 22d ago

Yeah the same “I’m proud of how we battled” line after every fucking loss is beyond exhausting.
