If Coach A ignores the defense we might only win 2 games. He is head coach not just OC anymore. 

Huge gaps on D still. A few weeks left to see if he is taking the gaps seriously.

I’m sorry but with a weaker conference this is not acceptable. We cannot have a two win season

If we expect 2 wins then I am not sure why anyone even bothers to follow this team.  We have been awful but a turnaround is not a 3-4 year process like the last guy led you to believe.  How was Tulane

LOL ... then shut it down. Not saying we won't win 4, 5 or even 6, who knows, but there's been no reason other than basically "just because" given to expect that many ....

There's reasons:

FAMU, Rice, FAU, Charlotte, Temple

 

There's 5 right there

All 5 had better seasons than we did last year but I'm sure there is some solid, data based reasoning to expect us to win any of them outside of FAMU ..... I'm all "ears". Without some of that type reasoning, maybe we should expect to go undefeated, just because.

Our expectations shouldn't change because we haven't had our **** together for 5 years (or more).  By that line of reasoning we should just expect 0 wins forever.  Expecting our football team to be able to win 4 out of those 5 games at home isn't unrealistic.  The fact that anyone in our fan base feels that way is part of the problem.  They're job is to win football games.  Expecting them to do so shouldn't be considered unrealistic and this board going into a tizzy because they don't shouldn't be considered the fault of those on this board with actual expectations.

They didnt play our same schedule so having a better record doesn't mean much.

The sad thing is that our schedule this past season turned out to be not as hard as we thought. We start with the OOC games with BYU falling on their face this season. UF was terrible and USF pretty much had them beat at the Swamp. UL ended up being the toughest OOC opponent for USF. Next season the OOC  will be much harder with BAMA, UConn, WKU & FAMU. The conference schedule was not too bad with Cincy & UCIF taking a step down.  Tulane we had at home so we will probably be on road against Tulane. UTSA will probably light up the school board in the Alamo Dome. UAB will destroy us..

We wont be playing Tulane for two years. Wont be playing SMU or ECU either. UAB and FAU will just as us have a first year coach. Rice, Temple, and Charlotte at home. The schedule is the weakest we have played since I was still a student; that's  20 years ago. There will be no excuses if we don't get 4 to 5 wins. New coaches come in and win in their first year all the time.

Hope you are right. UAB won their bowl game so they have momentum.

  • Quotes

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22
