http://goallineblitz.com/game/home.pl?user_id=12602 and then the trophies tab. Do you know what I'm not seeing? I'm not seeing
any trophies at
any level for coordinating, unless you're silly enough to count University Casual or special teams. So apparently we have someone who doesn't possess less coordinating experience than I do, but actually
no relevant coordinating experience at all attempting to lecture
me on what coordinating involves. Once you have finished laughing at the ridiculousness of that, pick yourself up off the floor and ponder what kind of hopelessly delusional mind would actually pick a fight over a subject they know absolutely nothing about. That's the only part where you become in the least bit interesting.

EVERYONE that coordinates has felt both the positive and negative effects of RNG at some point, it is simply inevitable. The best coordinators just know how to mitigate the risk better." Now perhaps English is your second language and you have startling proficiency aside from having no clue what the word "just" means. Saying that "
the best coordinators just know how to mitigate the risk better" means that mitigating the risk is what you're attributing their success to. Or perhaps the problem is that you don't understand what "mitigate the risk" means even though you posted it, but ultimately it all comes down to you ignorantly insisting that great coordination in GLB is all about hoping to do well with the RNG. To put it another way, you're saying that great coordinators try to use a four sided die instead of a six sided one, that they're just hoping to improve their odds.

So you are telling me that even the best pilots, race car drivers, or any other profession do not try their best to mitigate risk even when they are head and shoulders above their competition?Yes, that's what I'm telling you. Given that you have probably never accomplished anything and therefore have no frame of reference from any aspect of your life, you genuinely don't understand excellence and therefore have the mistaken impression that success comes from playing it safe. Excellence comes from avoiding mistakes while attempting something extraordinary. "Mitigating risk" means avoiding anything extraordinary and keeping things safely between the lines.

Now before you go off all half-cocked again (which shouldn't surprise me and doesn't), I let my 13 year old niece read this before hitting post and she gets it just fine.... so are you smarter than an 8th grader or just gonna regurgitate more of the same because you think it is getting a rise out of me?Given that she comes from the same gene pool
and is a child, it's not a colossal surprise that she would agree that your buffoonery somehow translates to sterling insight. Bhall and HHWC have separately been offensive juggernauts forever not because they play it safe and try to "mitigate risk," but the exact opposite. They aggressively attack downfield, but they know how to do it smartly and successfully. Doof last year mitigated risk by spamming a bunch of runs and screens. That can be successful in small doses and when no one particularly cares, but it's not great coordination by any stretch and it's certainly not a recipe for sustained excellence. Tautology mitigates risk with his defenses by not blitzing, and how many WL trophies does he have? His defenses are easy to attack because you don't have anything to fear. You don't have to worry about anything the way you do HCreek's creative blitzes that confuse Bort's blocking code. "Mitigating risk" is a recipe for mediocrity, which is certainly better than being terrible, but you arguing that it's the secret for great coordinators does nothing but to shine the bat-signal on your confounding ignorance.
