Yes, we are still missing a few critical pieces for this team to be competitive in the upper half of the conference.
We have some pretty decent players. Unfortunately, we don’t have to coaches who could properly devise sound offensive and defensive schemes to allow the players to play in a system that will allow them to be successful.
Combining that with the lack of well designed plays and poor play calling, obviously, we were unable to compete.
Did our coaches really think other teams did not scout us such that every time #12 got on the field, all he did was to put his head down and run?
We need to get D-1 coaches going forward. If we can’t afford them, join another conference if we want to be in the playoff.
It is a business decision. Give the people a product that they want to buy. It takes investment (money) to make money. Otherwise, our stadium will continue to be empty without the ability to generate the revenues to fund the program. But, the athletic department will continue to complain that we have limited resources to get things done.
