I really like JG.

[Solar7]

I don't have to add much more to this, but I've been so cranky about our coaching since BA... if we can get him some more talent, there's a shot here.

He's doing a lot with a little. 4-4 with this schedule is much more than I expected.

I agree. Many times we blame poor execution on the coaches. This team doesn’t quit but can be overmatched.

 

[slanidrac16]

I get aggravated when he goes so far out of his way to not point “ blame”. But he certainly has held through with his demeanor and control while taking most of the blame.

 

[BooksOrangePlanet]

same - and jg is a defensive guy - if we can get robinson healthy and pick up a pass rush..

 

[AZ Native]

He is so stoic on the sidelines when everyone else is going ballistic. But I believe he gives them hell behind closed doors. Tom Landry comes to mind. My high school friend played for him and said it was night and day behind closed doors.

Same.

The players are buying what he's selling. At least for now.

Yep that only takes you so far, you have to win to keep that mindset when you’re undermanned.

But yes JG has been phenomenal so far getting his team to compete

I also think this is true,

Gotta love Monti too. He does this after every win. There's a Bidwill sighting in there too.

 

[RON_IN_OC]

I shudder to think how this team, as it's set up now, would perform under Wilks or Kliff. JG is definitely stoic, which is a nice change of pace...he doesn't look like a deer in headlights on the sideline. He looks confident. Doesn't show his Cards, at all. You see similar with Rallis and Petzing, too, from what I've seen.

 

[HairZach]

I really like the whole "Process over results. One day at a time" JG preaches. It's not original but he seems to stick with it more than any other coach I've seen. I think he helps keep Kyler level as well. Kyler has always been super high after a win and super down after a loss; he needs a calming voice in his ear.

Love this approach

Well, the team certainly quits, but the positive is that they don't quit often. Two stinkers out of eight isn't bad for a team with so little talent

Thought we were overmatched in both games.

 

[CardNots]

I liked him from the beginning.

He just walks and talks like a coach. He passes the duck test. I’m guessing he can swim

Am i sold on him, not yet.

 

[Totally_Red]

I love the way he is always under control on the sidelines. That was BA's big negative IMO. As long you are coaching hard in the locker room and not airing the dirty laundry in public. Today's athletes don't seem to respond well to public shaming.

 

[Cardsfaninlouky]

I've liked him & Monti from day 1, just the way they talked about their plans & culture, the types of players they're looking for etc etc. The players fight for JG, they play hard, the games they won last season with even less talent showed me that.

 

[Stout]

Thought we were overmatched in both games.

We weren't merely overmatched--we were crushed in soul-sucking fashion. One game had an incredible amount of INTs. We didn't show to either of those games to play.

Now Monti needs to get a lot better at his job. I think JG is doing his already.

I think Monti knows his next task is to build the DL, at least I hope he does lol? We all know it for sure.

4-4 with this schedule AND injuries

 

[PJ1]

Look at this roster. Not good enough to compete at a high level every week.

That was his task LAST offseason, as was adding edge talent. Yet here we are, with the same task list...

 

[Stout]

No doubt! That we're 4-4 is a minor miracle, so all credit to JG. Those two games I concede were earned losses, but the absolute bell-showing performances weren't acceptable. When I see the team trying but falling short because of that talent, I can accept that. Those games were definitely not that.

 

[Carolinacacti]

Penalties and turnovers are in the positive side. That’s coaching
