Jim Bollman (Stay calm and run Dave)

[ScriptOhio]

I really believe that Bollman is a classic case of the "Peter Principle":

i.e. "You do a good job and you keep getting promoted until you reach your level of incompetency".

Given the right circumstances he could be a decent OL coach; however, as an OC he is in way over his head.

So we're grave-digging month old threads to rag on a guy. Why, exactly?

When he was at Ohio State we had a annual area of concern or outright weakness - the OL line play - despite high level recruiting. I doubt there are such a thing as the right circumstances.

Because I almost went to prison for plotting a murder due to the frustration of watching Dave, Dave, incomplete pass or sack, punt. Repeat. The frustration still needs vented. :)

It will be okay...I promise.

Can we get a thread title change. It sickens me that every time I see this thread I see that state up north's name. How about just Sparty instead of that state name?

Dave left, Dave right...

What I took from that is that they need to be ready to go.

 

[Steve19]

What I took from that is that they struggled to find something truly positive to say about what he was bringing.

"Hey, Connor! Who is this Dave guy that Coach keeps talking about?"

Bollman's ready to go counter: 8

I doubt they'll be ready to go in September.

Super Dave Osbourne was god when I was growing up.

 

[Poe McKnoe]

Dantonio: 4th and 1, Coach Bollman. What should we call?

Bollman: SUPER DAVE. GOTTA BE READY. GOTTA BE READY TO RUN SUPER DAVE. SUPER DAVE.

Sparty: WE'RE READY FOR SUPER DAVE.


Guard doesn't clear his block and backside defender stops undersized tailback for loss. Turnover on downs.

that's the first time the words "Bollman" "ready to go" and "counter" were used in the same sentence.

So to paraphrase Bollman: "You gotta be ready to go!"...To paraphrase the player's reaction: "What Coach Bollman brings to the field is a body. He is a person and to be a coach, you have to be a person. He brings a new face here."
