David Cutcliffe made a clever coaching decision by rapidly announcing Sunday that Thad Lewis would be his quarterback for this week’s battle with the Kansas Jayhawks.
However I have only one problem with the means Cutcliffe went about this. It really is such a trifling factor and I hesitated to even mention it, although felt bound to do so.
Cutcliffe confirmed Lewis was one of various athletes who had gotten the flu and sat out in practice time.
If you tell me Lewis is the man, I’m fine with this, principally since I do not have a choice and you may care less what my belief is. Although there is moreover the fact that you’re the head coach/qb guru and understand more than I will ever recognize regarding that position.
There is no need to tell me Lewis isn’t 100 percent.
He definitely insisted he didn’t want to cause a qb controversy, but, as most recognize, qb debates nine times outside 10 are created by enthusiasts and news organizations, not personnel.
If a qb debate manifests as a result of Renfree’s nice play and Lewis’ not so great performance then deal with it if the questions turn up.
While I agree with his choice and swiftness of it he can have opened up a small door for criticism of his starter.
If Lewis does not perform favorably at Kansas then Cutcliffe will certainly receive questions about whether or not Lewis is 100 percent and if he is not, why isn’t Renfree playing in the game?.
So for the coach’s good I hope Lewis steps up and is victorious or has a nice game, because the absolutely last issue the team needs at the moment in the wake of the positive of beating Army is a controversy.
Just ask Coach K if you are seeking a second opinion. He has been forced to cope with one or 2 of those.
