Correction, The original poster does this every year, we aren’t any good on the field but **** he makes us look like world beaters on paper.  He knows the roster better than anyone on the board however he has a tendency to look at these guys with some very thick rose colored glasses, take his analysis with a grain of salt and a fifth of Tito’s, it makes more sense that way. 

I filled in more stats if it makes you guys feel a little better.

Have there been any interview or players/parents tweets that talk about how this coaching staff compares to the last one?

I think CCS was just so hated that the parents of previous players were so happy for a change. CJS sucked but he did kind of care about the team in his own special way. CCS seemed to have checked out.

I have no doubt that Jeff Scott cared about his players, as he seemed like a genuinely nice person. He was buttcheeks as a coach though, so

The things I would do to have a nasty, hard hitting, aggressive defense again. Points are all the rage these days for people but I just freaking love an old school defensive slugfest. Fun defense is greater than a fun offense to me. Gimme 24-14 over 48-35 all day, everyday

You will be in heaven if we get a B1G invite.

Hell yeah!! The high scoring games are too long & nerve wracking. Defense wins championships!!

You've mixed your liquors.  A grain of salt and a fifth of Tequila (with lime wedge of course).

Ok so these are the guys that get blasted off the line by the juggernaut that is Western Kentucky.

Let’s start by holding Western Ky under 30 points. That would be a positive start for this defense

OL coach posted a picture of the OL and they look like high school players. Our defense is going to need to step up this season lol.
