It's the position coach's job to relate the information, coach the kid up and get the player on the right page in order to follow the execution necessary for success.
I get that Tua was feeling himself, but it was up to Enos to knock him down a peg and get him to buy into what they were teaching.
Enos didn't.
In fairness, position coaches are not controlling the players like string puppets, or with an PS4 controller. This isn't Madden.
And I don't mean that as hyperbole. Many fans put far too much blame on coaches some times, when they are just coaching.
"Coaching"
Think about that word outside of sports. A coach is a person who helps (through instruction) a person improve a behavior or activity, but it is still the responsibility of that person himself to go do it. And that person (the coachee) has 100% control over the thing, and the coach exists only as an interested spectator.
Has anyone here ever played NCAA or Madden and just called the plays. Like literally just call it and let the computer run the play? You can play a whole season like that. And it sucks. You call some stuff that you know would work if you had been controlling the guy, but what should've been a 20 yard gain was a 7 yard loss, and you reset the damn playstation out of fury.
That's what it's like to coach. They're not gods.
