As I have stated, I am not blaming everything 100% on the players. I think the coaches are still trying to figure this tougher competition thing out compared to the AAC as well. I do know mentality positive or negative plays a roll into how one performs from every day life to sports.If, in fact, you are right in your assessment that the negative mental aspect is present, it is much worse than one thinks then because that means the smaller number that remained have influenced the larger number of newbies that came into the fold. Which seniors do you see as a problem in the leadership category? We don't have many to select from. Assuming it is all a "mental" problem, that is still the coaches responsibility to change. They change EVERYTHING from weight to eating to plays to studies to when practices are to the mental make up of the team
I have worked enough different jobs to know that a negative mindset is an addictive quality and spreads very easily. Think back to a job you had where you go to work and people are complaining non stop. They are doing just enough to get by. Now you show up busting your ass day in and day out, you may even enjoy your job, but pretty soon hearing that same negativity from other people over and over starts to wear on you. It starts to make you second guess things and maybe not want to work quite as hard or maybe you start complaining too. Pretty soon you have the majority doing just enough to make it through the day and almost everyone is unhappy.
I agree 100% it takes a coach or boss or ceo or whoever to come in and change the attitude. So I do not disagree if this is an attitude/ mental thing the majority should fall on Frost at some point to get fixed. I think he is trying, but maybe isn't quit sure how to do it quickly. I think this is why we are now seeing the tough talk, depth chart changes and the players leaving. I'm no psychologist, I just don't think 9 months is fair amount of time to give him to fix it.
Of course I could be way wrong. I am just speculating and theorizing. This could be 100% Frost coaching. It could be a combination of both players and coaching. Non of us know for sure. We probably won't for another year or so.
