I don’t think the NCAA cares at all about the lower levels of college sports. No money to be made.
YSU wasn't even close to making it we were 37th. look forward to next year. Lots of young talent. WE NEED TO FIND A RUNNING BACK VIA TRANSFER PORTAL THOUGH AND A NEW DEF COORDINATOR.
Since I went to the game, I had no idea what was said on the pre-game show. This information puts to rest the absurd notion that Tressel could be intimidated to select a coach at the whim of a donor. As president, Tressel has done much to fortify his legacy at YSU. Should Phillips work out in the long run it will be his last accomplishment.
I am as angry and disappointed as anybody, but a little historical perspective is in order. Tressel actually inherited more talent from Narduzzi than Phillips did from Pelini. Yet he won two games in that first year, including the vital upset of Akron in the final game. Then we snuck into the playoffs in his second year behind some unlikely last second wins. But people forget that the third year was also a disaster. It was not until 1989, the fourth year, that Tressel started to win consistently. And the competition that Tressel faced in the Ohio Valley (1986-87) and as an independent (1988-89) was way, way inferior to what Phillips confronts in the MVFC.
I hate the word "patience" too. But there are no quick fixes to building a program "the right way" as penguinpower and others have noted. I suppose Phillips could have done what Petrino did at MSU, bring in 49 transfers and try to win immediately (as a ticket back to the big time for him.) That worked a bit last season. How is that working for him in 2022?
MEDIOCRITY has overcome this program. We lose and we think we have found our new QB? Sadly, there isn't a D1 QB on the current roster. Our remaining schedule includes 3 home and 3 away games. Sadly, another losing season is in the cards. All the while James Madison enters the top 25 in FBS.
JMU ranked 25th in FBS. Wtf are we doing??
You know, people are going to not agree ...
But I think we blew the best opportunity to beat NDSU that we could have asked for. They are playing well below par, but we could not capitalize on offense. That last FG does not count, but we should have been able to score 24-points in that game. I mean our secondary is inept and the Bison could not get the ball out there. The Bison defense lined up not more than 6-yards off the LOS, for the entire first half because our QB was incapable of throwing the ball and our OC was not willing to put him under center to establish the run and play-action. We scored 14-point s with a QB that does not even get much (if any) practice all week. We keep the Bison out of the end-zone the entire second half. Two dropped INT's that we threw directly into the Bison defender's hands. I see three more challenging games on our schedule, starting this Saturday. UND, ILS and SIU are superior teams to what we played last Saturday. We will also struggle with SMS and S. Dakota.
We need to stop looking at last Saturday's game as the "marker". We played an average football team. The difference is that the Bison coaches will learn and not make these same mistakes again. Our staff will continue to do what it has done for over a season now. Just so frustrating. This is the point where I was ready to toss Tressel as well. Tressel did well with Duzzer's players & then he gave us just what we are seeing now. They still renewed his contract and we are all glad they did. Maybe the same thing is here with us now and we just have to be patient?
We need to give Mitch a try at least a few games under his belt. Would have been nice if he could have started this game it could have been much different. Oh well looks like another losing season at 5-6,
It is amazing to me that the article stated that NDSU ranked 112 out 123 FCS teams in pa$$ing offense.
The difference is that they didn’t have to pa$$ and we couldn’t pa$$.
