I want Bollman Fired because I believe that his coaching is maybe too focused on technique and not enough on kicking ass. It may not be the case but as an outside observer it appears that players are overly focused on technique which causes them to play tentative, by playing tentative, the Defense runs all over them. They look confussed out there, like they don't know what their doing, and certainly like they don't know what going wrong.
Freshman have come in like Mangold, and Sims, and now Rehring that look great. Then in the cases of Mangold and Sims, they have regressed. The last two years they have not looked as aggressive, and generally that is when you are thinking about something other than burring the guy in front of you. My theory on why the Freshman have played well is because they don't know the technique as well so they do what they know which is kill the guy in front of them. You can't move someone out of a hole with technique alone. At some point you must decide to be a bad ass and bury the guy. I do not see this attitude from our line. It is not one kid, or just last years O-Line. It has been consistant the more he is around these kids, the worse they seem to perform.
It simply must be coaching. Whether or not it is over emphasis on technique I am unsure, but it must be something that makes these players get more sheepish as their time wears on.
