Littrell Weekly Presser

[MGNation92]

Just watched it live. Seemed pretty pissed off, basically calling out the team for being cocky and thinking they could go in and win without putting any energy into it.

"Once you start getting cocky, thats when bad things happen"

I hope they have a fire lit under them this week and come out swinging on Saturday

[Hunter Green]

My bet is they will. Nothing like getting your asses whipped to wake up competitive athletes. Look for a big win this Saturday.

[cdizzle86]

He also mentioned that they had great practices throughout the week, but the players have to make sure they stay focused all the way up to the game. Maybe I'm reading into that too much, but I would say he's also pissed about the pictures that came out showing players hanging out at the pool.

Yes but they also said they had a good week of practice prior to the FAU game.  Of course they're never going to say they had a bad week of practice before a game, but don't feel confident just because supposedly they had a good week of practice. GMG!

Actually, in the past he has said when they had a bad week of practice. Last year he said that several times after a game. 

[aztecskin]

I want to hear "Lane Kiffin and Kid Briles kicked my ass"

 

-- I suppose he hinted at that with the "our jobs as coaches to put them in the right spot".

 

Still doesn't square with me to have had a great week of practice but it not carry through the game. Seems like they simply weren't prepared for what FAU had for them. I thought the reactions after they began to get blown out were bad -- trying to strip the ball instead of wrapping up, etc.

Still disappointed nobody has asked him why on earth did he keep Fine playing in the fourth quarter.

I said he wouldn't say that before a game

Really disappointed that @Brett Vito was not able to work in a question about the wives and pool activities.  #willpower

This.

Brett Vito remembers the Dodge days where a few tough questions and articles brought much consternation from the entire AD. He isn't going to take that chance again now with emotions running so high. It won't surprise me to see a question or an article with Littrell in a few weeks or after the season where this gets asked/addressed, after emotions have calmed down.

I don't think Vito was viewed very highly by the AD during the Dickey era.  But yeah, those stories alleging that Dodge and his staff were racists certainly widened the rift.

There's a lot of people outside of the AD office who don't think very highly of Vito.

I used You Tube's transcription to clean it up if you don't have time to watch and would rather read through it:

Those two things for me., particularly the second one.

But to be perfectly honest, while I believe part of this was game planing, part was effort, I still also believe the biggest part of this is the recruiting when it comes to the defensive front seven. FAU simply has better talent there, and I think it just hasn't been a priority so far for SL and it shows. Since English isn't playing, at this point I think each and every DL and LB in FAUs starting lineup is better than anyone UNTs got.

If you are dissapointed about a question not being asked, there is an open mic at every coaches show.

Head on down to Rudy's, get some BBQ, and ask away.

You can send in questions on Facebook as well... Post it here and I bet someone can ask for you... 

Heck bring it up and Vito may even ask it...

Less of a guarantee certain questions end up being asked that way but I suppose it's the best alternative.
