Congrats to these guys but can someone tell me how Cochran was not selected as a captain.... .   Great student, great leader on and off the field, Media seems to like him,....    I've lost a little respect for this program....    Back to Top Brufus General User Member Since: 12/13/2011 Location: Wherever Miami and Michigan suck Post Count: 416 Status: Offline     RE: Captains    Posted: 5/21/2014 5:31:25 PM  Is it strictly players-only, or are the assistant coaches allowed to vote as well? Or does Solich just pick 4-7 guys? (I don't think it's the last option, but you never know...)

The captains last  year never seemed to be able to regroup the team.

I know he's a good kid and one of our best players, but how would any of us know if he has the leadership personality a football team needs?

Probably more than the weight lifting, Tim has been willing to play linebacker, tight-end and running back based on what the team needs at that point.

I think basically the coaches take a look at the vote count and usually there are a certain number who separate themselves with the number of votes they get. I'm not sure what the nomination process is like, though. Maybe Cochran didn't want to be a captain.

Players respect his integrity, do anything for the team attitude, and a true gentleman. He will be the first of his siblings to receive an university degree. Older siblings could not afford a college education. Wonderful how athletics can create an opportunity and that individual respects that opportunity!! So proud of Tim, his work ethic and grabbing that opportunity to be a leader. Panda Back to Top L.C.

While Captains are normally starters, that isn't always true, and in the particular case of the Captains the players selected this year, being a starter definitely doesn't look like it was a core reason for those chosen. Only one of the players chosen, Kristoff, seems virtually certain to start. As for the others: Vick may or many not start ahead of Sprague Edmond may or may not start ahead of Patterson Carpenter may or may not start, depending on whether the Bobcats open in a nickle formation. That doesn't mean they can't be/won't be fine Captains. I trust that the players had good reasons for the choices they made, and I look forward with hope for an exciting football season ahead. “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top perimeterpost General User Member Since: 7/6/2010 Post Count: 3,165 Status: Offline     RE: Captains    Posted: 5/23/2014 5:22:00 PM  UpSan Bobcat wrote: Players vote on the captains and there is no set number that gets picked.
