11 BCS conferences?

I was thinking the same thing. I would love to hear the 11 BCS conferences.

ACC, Big East, Big 10, Big 12, Conf. USA, MAC, MWC, PAC 12, SEC, Sun Belt, WAC.

Your reading comprehension is beyond miserable. you provided a link to SELECTIVE quotes. I'm telling you to listen to what he said. If you don't have 700 wlw then just stop arguing and believe what people say that do have it. He SAID on his post game that he takes full responsibility. He SAID it after both the Presbyterian and Marshal losses. I heard it with my own two ears. Find a transcript of the post game if you only believe what you read on the internet.



What BS? I've already stated on here that it's easy to call out the defense as causing the issues and how the reality of it is the offense is the center of their problems. Their defense still needs to improve. Defense has a lot to do with hustle and effort but it has a whole lot to do with positioning, assignments, switching, scouting, etc.

I feel like I'm having an argument with a 3rd grader who totally tunes out the other side and just continues to ramble on with their nonsense.

You keep running your mouth and have provided zero proof and zero examples. I stated that the link does say Mick took responsibility. He said he tried warning his team they were going to get beat. He blames himself for not getting his message acrossed. Well Mick that is your job and that is why you get paid a lot of money.

I also said I do not get 700, so if there is something else he blames himself for that I did not hear and only READ, please explain.

You're 3rd grade joke was quite funny, you should be a comedian

As I've said a 100,000 times. Mick does take responsibilty for telling the guys they are in for a rude awakening. Where do I sign to coach the Bearcats if thats coaching? He obviously failed to get through. Then you keep running your mouth about how he took responsibilty, except you are providing no proof nor gracing us as to what Mick did SAY. He may have. As I said, I do not receive 700, I am going on what was in the article as I first stated. So please, enlighten me. All the article talks about is player laziness. If Mick can't coach an offense and avoids all questions geared to it, he is not the man for the job.

“I know a lot of people are going to talk about 22-of-62 shooting from the field. Offensive this and offensive that. But we gave up 37 points in the second half." Quote from Mick right after the game. Yes, we know. But people would also like to know why the Cats put up 54?? He has no answer so defer's the question to what he does know

You're 3rd grade joke was quite funny, you should be a comedian

Mick did take say he takes responsibility for both losses on his post-game radio interview after both games. In the case of the Presbyterian game first he blamed his players, then made some excuses, then said he takes responsiblity, then went back to blaming his players. While he did say it, I don't really feel like he meant it. His post-game interview following the Presbyterian loss was dispicable. When you drop a game like that you don't blame your players, or your defense, or act like the sky is falling. You take responsiblity as a coach, promise it won't happen again, and downplay the loss. Talk about what your players can learn from a loss like that and talk about what you plan to do to make sure it doesn't happen again.

He did a much better job in the Marshall post game. He made a few excuses about how he doesn't have the guys to win games pretty (who's fault is that?) but overall I think he handled himself pretty well in that case. He just stated that the tougher team won, which was true.

I'd really like to see him take the approach in the post game of telling the fans what he's going to do to fix problems.

I understand the philosophy of making the guys play through their struggles but I honestly believe that Mick should try a line up change of Cash, Guyn, SK, Mbodj, Gates to allow Jackson to be the spark off the bench and allow Dixon to find himself and award Guyn for playing well thus far. Just something to try to spark some sort of offense.

Wow, someone other than me actually knows their stuff! All 120 FBS schools are members of the BCS, the BCS committee consists of the Commissioners of the 11 BCS Conferences, the Notre Dame Athletic Director, and the BCS Commissioner.

Thank you for clarifying.

Longhall. My apologies. However to say I was dead wrong about my first post on this topic was inaccurate as Mick is sitting on the fence

Also, next time they score 54 pts against a crappy team, I would like to see him address it and not defer all questions to the defensive side of the ball. Unless he addressed that over the radio too

i agreed the coach should take responsibility, I don't agree about the players. Players play and they should have pride when they step on the floor. You can't teach heart and you can't police the locker room or you can give your all to coaching. He said the score of the Marshall game was 43-30 (rebounding margin). Again I point to players hearts. This team quits playing when they think they have a game won (Pride). You have to want to get better. That is on the players. I lay the responsibility on Mick I blame the players.

Not sure if you saw or not (may have been this thread, may have been another one) but Ralph actually started expressing his frustrations with Mick. It is rare to see his true side but every now and then he shows it.

Ive heard Ralphy is unhappy with the coaching staff and has been for some time.

Ralphy, some of this has to go on the players shoulders, you cant possibly blame Mick for everything.

The players are the ones who play. Mick has never missed a shot, missed a free throw, turned the ball over, committed a foul, threw the ball out of bounds, not boxed out his man, etc., while the head coach at UC.

Ralph, where do you put Temple?

Temple's football team is a member of the FBS.

Then why have you shown so much frustration with Mick not recruiting a shooter? It isn't his fault--so don't get so mad at him.

Mick said he took responsibly, not sure what more there is. Did you expect him to say the kids played great it was a just a coaching issue?

I'd like for him to mention the offense as a problem as well. Of course, he did against Marshall. He mentioned how bad the offense was. Still, like or dislike Mick, he isn't an idiot. He knows the offense is an issue. But it's easier to blame defense and there isn't much excuse for a bad defense as their is offense, hence why the majority of college coaches get more frustrated with their teams defense.

Funny! You are a regular Red Skelton.

I don't understand the whole never recruited a shooter thing. I've heard a few people say that. Is Kilpatrick not a shooter? You can't ever leave him behind the three-point line or he makes you pay.

When people say they want a shooter does that mean they want a white guard that can hit threes and not much else like a Brad Redford? Why doesn't Kilpatrick count? He's shooting 46% this year from 3.

I am not the one complaining about it, Ralph was. Maybe he can answer your questions.

I'd like to hear him say what he can do as a coach better. So, "We lost because I did not put them in situations offensively to succeed. Or defensively I kept guys out there who were being lazy." To me, that is taking responsibilty and that was what I was looking to hear from you about his post game on 700.

Like UCbearcats said, he did take responsibilty but in my mind he didnt mean it. It seemed as a cop out.

And you are correct, the players have to play. On the other hand, something is not clicking with this team, coaches included and thats up to Mick to discover
