that’s true as a life philosophy but you don’t get that luxury in a game

A game has a finite amount of chances because of its arbitrary end point. If one goes wildly against you it can break you before your preparation allows random variance to balance out.

It isn’t a philosophical morality thing, it’s odds and math.

I posted the information below in the Cotton Bowl thread but since it may have bearing on the implication of your question, I am copying it here.

Interesting nugget picked up from Austin Ward at On3. The CFP playoff committee requires that participating teams, hold a pregame press conference that makes available the offensive and defensive coordinators for each team. Failure to comply results in fines. Ohio State is holding their press conferences today. The lineup provided by Ohio State yesterday has Matt Patricia leading the defensive press conference. However, Ohio State has listed that Ryan Day and not Hartline will be speaking at the offensive press conference. Implication being that Ryan Day will be calling plays going forward.

If true, I think I like it.

So who’s making these assistant coach hiring decisions at USF while Hartline is working full time as OC at Ohio State?
