Post by PonyPride »

Dallas Morning News staff writer Adam Grosbard is back for his weekly Q&A. In this week's installment, he discusses a number of topics, including what he thinks the Mustangs needed to address during their bye week and who has improved the most over the course of the last year.

June Jones was crucified for a poor tackling team because he wasn't 'tough' enough on the players, recruited poorly, and didn't believe in full contact practices.

Morris & Malone now?

I equate coaches not teaching tackling to Dexter Manley not being able to read at OSU. A player should already know how to tackle when they reach college level, especially D1. And Manley should have already known how to read. However, if a coach (or teacher) recognizes that a player lacks technique (or how to read) efforts should be made to improve the situation.
