He may be a great coach. If you want my honest take (which may disappoint you), it’s that sometimes coaches can be knowledgeable and reach some players, but not everyone buy in. That would actually disconfirm my view of Inge being a great coach. You can’t buy into a player hear. One of the most knowledgeable teachers and coaches I had at IU was Teagarden. When Knorr came around the same time, he was the first coach to give us a diagram of what offenses liked to do. But not everyone bought in, and the defense was still bad. This year the safeties didn’t play that well, and Teagarden was the guy. Part of the difficulty for us as fans is not knowing how much is on the players or how much is on the coaches. I have to admit, I might be giving Inge too much praise because Scales, Oliver, Simmons, and Covington were also personally driven guys. It just seemed odd to have such a drop off in one season even with Willis (having played a lot) and Jones (being a fourth year guy) in the line up. My point is that maybe the man who got promoted is a great coach, and this batch of older players simply weren’t as strong as past guys mentally. I’m fully confident in the young guys like Miller, McFadden and Allen jr (even if Allen plays at DE). They seemed to play with more passion, so I could be wrong here. Maybe the knew DC is a great coach and the upperclassman simply didn’t show up.
