Aaron Tells It Like It Is

[AllGoldEverything]

They also need to stop being accustomed to "overcoming adversity". They need to KNOW that they will win, even during a game where they turn the ball over, even when the team is down by two or three td's. Again, someone step up, be the leader, shake the sh!t out of your team mates when they make a mistake but help them remedy the situation. PLEASE, for the love of all that is HOLY! LEAD LEAD LEAD!

Go IRISH!

Well said.

Mike,

You are soooo right on the money. Let me take a step back and say one thing though. I know that I am not on the field nor the locker room, however it shows on the field. Not to go too much into my background but it was my job to train the next guy in, train the future leader, ensure that if and when the messed up, they knew what they did right and wrong. It instiiled confidence in the person and the team, knowing that the next guy in would be able to make it happen.

Like you, I just don't see it. Tons of hands on the helmet, hands in the air, or hanging heads. A leader would make on the spot corrects. A leader would not just let it go. A leader would make the mistake a learning leason and NO a leader is NOT ammune from making mistakes. They would however take the blame and make corrections as needed.

There are several players who can take the roll of the leader on O and D. A follower can play football but a leader can win a football. Lets make it happen, change the attitudes, build confindence, and win games, not some, but all of them. Punish teams and let them know who played and make them never want to step on the field with ND again!

Do not ignore the lack of leadership. C'mon players take the roll, make it happen, and win.

Where are the team leaders at?!?

i agree 100 percent. no leadership and fire from the upper classmen.

Maybe Aaron needs to take a trip to South Bend and deliver this motivational speech to our players. Aaron is spot on and I could not put it better in words than he did. He nailed it! This is not coming from a die hard loyal fan like myself but from Aaron who was one of the most outstanding players to have played for us in the past. Aaron knows what he is talking about and it is nice to see him speaking the truth.
