Either way it is the coach's responsibility.Is the coach so bad ? ( not teaching the players anything ) or are the players just so dumb ? ( not understanding what the coach is telling them and is not doing what is asked ).
If they don't want to listen to him, then they have no confidence in him, or respect for him. Or better yet, they feel secure because a) Moore has no idea b) come up with some dumb excuse for a loss and c) he will pick them next week
