He's been out in the community more than any coach in recent memory. He was literally at the state fair with the team the first day it opened.

It's just another don't tell me, show me from coach Fleck. He came into the job with promises of being more media friendly, more accessible to the fans, more open practices, etc etc. So if he's going to bluster about that being his platform, his culture, things that are important to him..then show me.

He has missed more Sunday morning appearances in a year, with hosts wondering where he is no less, than other coaches did in the last 10 years.

Does the State Fair appearance matter to me? No. Just do what you say. Point was he also said mistakes are how we learn, how we grow. To accomplish that you don't live in the past harping on mistakes. Next play! We are all about Oregon State and the positives of week one, not the negatives.

I'm not complaining about how the team played against Buffalo. I'm just holding PJ accountable to what he says is important to him that he's not doing.

You are, of course, correct 60's. However, that won't save you from the Fan Club here.

The hate club has all joined in to praise 60's post, which makes no sense. Suprising
 

PJ Fleck was not present on KMSP's "The PJ Fleck Show" last Wednesday. The host kept saying they were going to be joined by Fleck later in the show. Never showed.

They showed a pre recorded interview because it was a night before the first game. What are you talking about?

He might be correct about Sunday morning appearances but he's way off when it comes overall public appearances, accessiblity, etc. The guy has been everywhere since the day he was hired. Many have even joked that there has to be more than one of him. He's nitpicking.

How do you learn from your mistakes if you don't look back at the mistakes and how it happened?

Well, that depends on the kind of mistakes you are making. You talk one on one with your players...you sandwich the corrections...Jimmmie, dang you had an awesome tackle on that misdirection they ran...you stayed home, you had great balance and you buried the guy...so fun! I noticed, on the third and two where we didn't stop them...you know the play I mean... ya, all we needed was a better angle, you came up too soon and got buried in the wash....trust your keys, just a half second of patience and then explode downhill once you got your read... I'm excited, you are playing so good....we get every doing their job, buying into their assignment and we are going to be scary good as a unit. Great job! One example...easier with film.

You address it in practice through drills, individual and team. You correct what broke...you don't need to drone on how horrible they were...they know. You just positively speak to fix the breakdowns without making them scared they'll never beat anybody. The whole thing in sports is confidence. Designing schemes that are successful for the people you have to work with. The difference between okay and great is pretty much mindset.

Lots of ways but what you don't do is create doubt. You reassure them we got this. We just need to tweak this. How cool was when it when we forced them to go 3 and out twice in a row? We just gotta string more of those together guys. We can do it, just gotta change our best.

Obviously the coaches spend a lot of time figuring out how to fix things after the fact. You don't share your worries with the team or certainly the media. You address mistakes by what you emphasize in practice for drills. Especially, especially after game one!!!! They are all trying to impress the new coach, looking for a pat on the back. Crushing whatever confidence they had is pretty dumb.

Mental preparation is huge. Talk to guys who wet the bed. Find out where they are at mentally. How'd they prepare BEFORE the game.

It's 5 days after the game and the coach is still talking about mistakes. We had more good plays than bad. But we can sure create or manifest more bad plays if that's what we are going to talk about.
 



What Sunday appearances is he missing? Seems like he is everywhere you look. Not being live on a Wednesday show when you play Thursday is understandable. When the hosts said PJ would be joining them again they were referring to the PJ on a stick puppet they had that they pretended to ask questions. I'm fine with being direct about talking about mistakes like the interception, having the coaches fall on the swords for Mitch's bad performances for four years didn't yield much. Calling them out may increase the pressure on them now to see if they respond or crumble as he looks to find the leader. I want thrilled with the conservative game plan either but willing to concede that in the first season first game with two questions at QB I can live with it. Won't be happy if it is still that way in year three and four.
