Vandy vs Bama game notes:

[2Stater]

Would anyone like to guess which BAMA former player---head coach at a SEC school ----"invented" computer programs for use in coaching?

I would request 5 e-creds for the first to guess correctly.  5 -  because computer programs  are so widely used these days, and are vital.

Caveat: I am not sure this guy "invented" such, but he at least made it newsworthy.

Croom?

I would guess Jackie Sherrill.

I said Croom because I thought he may have got it from the pros.

After they input all the info, then they come up with the game plan.  You see coaches with their call sheets (plays).  They basically look and say if we are in this formation then the D is going to be in the D.  They then call the play from the study of film and computer analysis.  According to one coach you find their weak link (orange eater as he called them) and try to attack that.

HSC, I appreciate this.  I've learned a lot (e.g., "orange eater").  Cool stuff.

[hscoach]

Actually, the orange eater term came from Rich Rod when he was at Tulane and we went to the clinic there.

And the etymology?  What on earth does it mean?

Yeah. Say what you want about CRR, he held some serious coaching clinics( I didn't even know about Tulane).. In Morgantown and around--I wonder where he found the time. I promise CNS doesn't or can't spend more than a weekend here or a weekend there. But when CRR's offense was "hot", he was also a hot commodity.

[BAMAWV]

So hsc, here is one for you. Let's say Bama prepares a program exactly like our opponents are preparing against us. It will list all our tendencies in certain situations (down,yardage,etc), so then we just go the opposite or the least likely from looking at our own tendencies?

is this the same as the system Sharif Melouk & Marcus Perry developed ?
they were at Culverhouse together and came up with a playcalling computer model ?

It means every team has a weakness on it.  A CB, LB, or whoever the coaches decide the want to attack. 

The story come from when CRR was at his first job.  According to the story the head coach left early the day before to where the team was going to play.  It was a small college and they had 2 buses.  He told CR to put all the good players on the first bus and the rest of the team on the other, older bus.  When they left after a short while the older bus breaks down.  and CRR waits as long as he can and then leaves the "other" players behind.   They get to the stadium go and get ready to go warm up and still no other bus.  The go out and warm up and come back in.  Still no bus.  So the Head Coach comes in for the pregame speech.  He looks around the room and says men, I can tell by the look on your faces that you are worried about your team mates.  Get that out of your mind because all they are are a bunch of orange eaters.  All they do is come in here at halftime and eat your MF oranges.   Now go out there and KICK SOME A**.    After this CRR goes on to say every team has an at least one orange eater in their starting lineup.  They are going to find him and exploit him.   

The funny thing about his story is that season we were getting ready to play Plano East.  We found a player and wondered how this guy was on the D and we attacked him as he was their orange eater.

I hate oranges ... too much acid stuff in em'

IF teams are equal then it comes down to execution.  Also, coaches also self scout and see their own tendacies.  They can add to their off.  Say out of a certain formation they run the ball 80% of the time and only throw a couple of routes out of that formation.  They can add routes or other runs that the team hasn't seen.

All I know is the name was Digital Scouting. 

[XBAMA]
