Players only meeting?

[Bamacracker]

Roll Tide Long time poster on BamaMag. I didn’t want to pay for it. .

Anybody else concerned that they’re having a players only meeting after the first game? All this stuff should’ve been hashed out in the spring, and in summer training. Hoping we see a clean game this weekend, and a dominant game to try to get the train back on the tracks. Rtr

I would be more concerned if they didn't care enough to take whatever steps they can to right the ship. The best time to plant a tree was 50 years ago, but there's no reason to not plant one today.

O.K. this is pretty funny. I like that saying.

One of the players said they had players only meetings every week last year, so it may be something that is on a schedule. If they’re not getting on to each other on the field and sidelines, I doubt there’s any corrective action happening in the meetings.

Not sure how a player’s only meeting is gonna correct coaching and game plan/prep issues.

They had players-only meetings last season, and it didn't do much good. Any "talk" that comes from this group is just wasted air space to me. They had their chances to prove it on the field last year and last Saturday and did nothing but crap their pants.

It's been my long-ago experience these players only meetings were used to challenge each other -- pointedly -- to raise the levels of each others' play ... to demand excellence ... to insist on better communication and teamwork on the field.

If that's what this meeting was for, great!!!

If that's NOT what happened, I would be bothered.

There were some pretty serious cases of lolly gagging/effort being displayed also. Players getting on each other for lack of effort is a good thing

What you do speaks so loud we can't hear what you say.

There's a few things that I'd question about this 'players only meeting':

1. who called this meeting - was it a player or a coach?
2. what was the purpose
3. what was the outcome
4. will it matter

We have been having fans only meetings here all week. Seems to be working.

Don't care, didn't help last year.

Definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

They aren't suddenly going to pull out of the death spiral. The program is in trouble.

My first thought when I saw this was, "Did they have ice cream and music?

Can a coach call a players only meeting? Asking for a friend.

Right after they filmed another Tik Tok locker room dance routine…..

The amount of respect this team has lost from the fanbase is unreal. Unfortunately, they earned it.

 

[CrimsonBloodn62]

Oh no, here we go again with another players only meeting. We have already been down that road for the last two years, on who they wanted to start and not start at the QB position.

AI doesn’t even respect them.

The final quip actually made me laugh because I heard it in Morgan Freeman Narration


AI got the score wrong but the rest right

These guys got to ‘Show’ me, us, everyone instead of blowing hot air and not backing it up.

I am not optimistic about this team under CKD. I saw things last year that have continued into this year. Our talent level isn’t the problem in my opinion. I remember the years after CPB retired…it sort of feels like that to me. It’s hard to follow GOATS. I feel we will be somewhere between good and mediocre. Hopefully it won’t be like the drought after Stallings left.

You better believe it. They’d never admit it. But it’s common for a coach to go to the captains and tell them to have a players only meeting.
