It would take 2 or 3 million dollars for us to buy a real d-line now. Another million or so to keep the guys we can't afford to lose.
It's a factor though. Just like coaching turnover and bad hires are.Quote:

Two infuriating things on that drive:
I can't stand the lack of discipline when players are unable to suspend the instinct to burn clock trying to fight for an extra yard when what they need to do is get the 17 out of bounds.
Apparently there is ONE universe in the multiverse where you don't take the points with one tick remaining from the TWELVE yard line. We're in it. You can't take very very significant risk of going into the half still down four scores. Lebby is now on probation in my mind. Hasn't lost me yet, but we can't have that BS.
4 coaches in 5 years, bad recruiting on defense, and being 2 years late to embracing NIL is what killed our program.Quote:

Now you not only have to recruit new kids, you have to re-recruit your existing players who are being tapped up by bigger, richer programs. Then there's the impatient group of kids who leave because they aren't playing enough. And they don't even have to notify the school or staff, they can just go. It's ridiculous. Hope everyone who wanted this is happy with it.Quote:

Example, well coached but simply out talented is something one cam wrap their mind around and look for solutions.
But there is nothing to build on. Nothing.
Is it ok now?Quote:

He then continued to tell everyone all last year how right he was and that we should have hired an AR coach.Quote:

He does not. May have been banned or just solely posts on GPQuote:

Now I'm just pissed off.
Our RBs are so weak. Can't break a tackle if their life depended on it
Man it really cannot get worse
Our running backs are so bad. I'd rather have Holloway starting.
I would rather just ran 5 wide. They might actually play Whittemore for more than 10 snaps.Quote:

Which is very scary.
