Here is the Times article expanding on Golesh’s comments about expectations and holding players accountable. As for the article, again these days everytime the Times writes about USF athletics I read an underlining hint of condescension and insulting attitude. Now a coach that is expecting accountability is an overdone ‘micromanager’?!? Is this Joey Knight’s first day covering college athletics because almost every successful college has a high level of expectation for his team, has high accountability for everything they do and works hard to weed out complacency. They also build in team building and relationship building into the equation so it is not all about burning guys out. Sprinkle in an exceptional concentration on the fundamentals, which was also a weak spot of CJS, and you are over half way there.
Some of my biggest issues on the field the last few years was the inconsistent unemotional play with what appeared to be zero accountability and an abhorrent display of complacency. How you pull that out of a program is to get rid of all the weak, and you do that by raising the standards in everything you, raise the expectations, create accountability and demand excellence in everything. When you do that correctly as it appears Golesh is doing you will start to see the program turning within 1-2 years.
Reading that article you would think Golesh was doing some radical new coaching concept never before tried, and hey CJS brought a big book to USF with everything thing to do so what could Golesh really do that CJS hasn’t done!?! What he failed to mention is CJS’s book was written in crayon and filled with Pokeman stickers. Funny the last great ‘micromanager’ we had here who was worried about the smallest detail and expecting perfection from everyone was Leavitt. That seemed to work out better than Joey’s analogy of Bruce Arian who coached college during the black and white tv days when Temple’s annual football budget was probably smaller than USF’s monthly budget.🙄. The ignorance in writing aside it was good to read more expansion on Golesh’s vision running a program.
