  1. Leavitt was an average coach at best. He never could finish at the top of a weak conference and got blown out by average teams. I'd love to be "average" again. Or, in that "weak" of a conference, again. Anyone who doesn't think Leavitt's team would've raped this conference the past two years are delusional. The teams that beat us routinely are gone. We had never lost to teams like UCiF, ECU, Memphis, etc under CJL. Yes.
  2. Holtz won some his first year with CJL's players. His teams got worse not better.
  3. That's what I thought when I read the quote from CWT about scoring in the red zone every time on Thursday.
  4. So we owe Taggart for three more years regardless--15, 16, and 17--at $400K? Holtz $500K/yr for the same period? We may be stuck with CWT for longer than one more year, after all, we're one of those schools that's losing money on FB and athletics even in the best years.
  5. Sure it would. And if that happened, we'd definitely being seeing some real improvement on the field compared with recent weeks. The chances of that, however, seem very slim.
  6. I voted for ucf outnumbering us handily, but this is exactly what I was thinking. We could have a good turnout if we were to win the next two and be bowl eligible with a home win. And, of course, the better ucf does between now and then, the better their turnout.
  7. CJL isn't coming back. I can't see him wanting to be here, wanting to rebuild the mess that's been made here. As to who is responsible for this mess, it isn't Holtz or Taggart, but the people who fired CJL and hired CSH and CWT. The President and the AD--and especially those who influenced them--had stars in their eyes. They are the ones who have to answer for this: a crappy team in a nothing conference. Who knows when we might be even a little bit relevant on the national stage in football. I'm betting we won't see that again for at least ten years--minimum. Probably more.
  8. Without a doubt more ucf fans will be there. I just hope they don't curb stomp us. I'm not expecting a win That's going to be an embarrassment--best crowd of the year will be 3/4 UCF fans. Oh my.
  9. First half was okay. But we were killed--again--in the second half.
  10. Sorry--I guess I was so bored I didn't realize where we were on the field.
  11. Why go for it on 4th down 24 points with 2:30 to go? Pointless. Just going to let them score again. The game isn't winnable by any measure. We can't get three scores.
  12. No that level of football is his comfort zone. He is overmatched at anything higher. Same with Taggart. Louisville had the same thing with Kragthorpe, but was quick to make the change when needed. what level do you think USF and the AAC is? Good point. But we wanted to be at the next level, and now we can't even succeed in the FBS.
  13. No that level of football is his comfort zone. He is overmatched at anything higher. Same with Taggart. Louisville had the same thing with Kragthorpe, but was quick to make the change when needed. That's what i feared at the time--good at his level, but not going to be successful against better competition.
  14. I heard, or didn't hear, that on the TV, too. Now I know why.
  15. That's not going to happen. He is like Holtz in that regard--the players play the system he knows rather than develop a system that works for the players he has. He's said nothing else.
  16. Did the same thing a game or two ago--he did one unimaginative series. I don't get it.
  17. Me too. I wanted him back before he'd even been replaced. I know, I know, but it was a terrible decision, and it goes, first, on Judy, and second on everybody who said that he was what was holding us back from being a real national power. Another lesson in "be careful what you wish for--you just might get it."
  18. Clearly, the way he is racking up wins. You really expect a bunch of 1st and 2nd year guys to rack up wins? Why don't you watch the product on the field and I actually learn what football is. Anyone with two eyes can see that there's more talent surrounding the horrible quarterback position. If BJ Daniels was here we would probably be looking at only one or two losses this year. Only reason Skippy was able to even win 8 his last two years. I miss BJ.... Didn't think at the time that I'd be thinking that.
  19. Right. Much as it hurts to see teams succeeding that we were clearly superior to just a few short years ago, for the Conference, we have to want ECU to go unbeaten the rest of the season and represent AAC in one of the big bowl games.
  20. I don't see any. Outcoached in the locker room at half time.
  21. Disappointing defensive series, too. We're going to have to do a LOT better than we have so far on both sides of the ball or we're going to get whacked good.
