We have talked a ton about JM and his leadership, culture, etc.
We need to definitely talk about the job our coaches are doing developing the players they inherited. Week 1, DB's were crushed on here as they allowed several plays to get behind him. Since that week, we have only had a few breakdowns and the DB's have been HUGE. OLine has gotten better every single week.....every single one. Special Teams are getting better and better with practice and changes. LB's are setting the edge and turning things back in better than I have ever seen at Tech. QB play yesterday compared to the previous two weeks has been night and day.
1) It is nice to see players being developed and start to maximize their abilities
2) It is even nicer to see adjustments and growth from game to game....even from a 1st half to a 2nd half
3) It is ever more niceier to see coordinators out-adjust their counterpart across the field.....honestly can't remember the last time it happened in all 3 phases like this
Last thing, Bear and the rest of the S&G Staff are really starting to prove their worth. The better conditioned team won yesterday, period. That is as much on the S&G, nutrition and training staff as it is on the coaches.
I certainly don't want to look ahead past this season, but I can't help but get excited about what this team is going to look like 2-3 years down the road.
