Rank the weaknesses of Football team

How about some friggin linemen who can put some pressure on the QB?  That is where our defensive problems stem from.  If WR's have all day to run around we could have Neon Deion, Charles Woodson, and JR back there and it wouldn't matter.

Our whole defense was down this year, but in particular the DB's were inexperienced.

On the offensive side, obviously QB and then maybe teach the WR's how to catch better...some of those problems might be solved by just getting a good QB that everyone trusts to throw the ball.

I am concerned about the penalties/discipline issue, but not as much as I am about the ability of our coaches to teach proper playing skills and to call the plays.

Easier to list our strengths:  RB & offensive line

Our recievers need stickier fingers...

P.J. needs consistancy...

Defence needs to be lit on fire...

5 - tackling

On marketing, I am with you guys that it flat out sucks. Some of the ideas being thrown on the table are right on. I cannot see how getting bodies in the seats could hurt anything as some have suggested. If anything, the loss on free/discounted tickets would be recovered by parking fees and concession revenues. I was never in a fraternity but it would be nice to see them incoroporate some USF athletics attendance with their bylaws. Drunken bodies are better than no bodies at this point.

T,

Good list... coaches were not the sole source of discipline issues on this team.

There wer some serious attitude problems on this team, and thanfully two of them are graduating this year, and both departures will actually help us in the defensive backfield.

To improve this team I have a very simple five step plan that will make this team better.

1.  Coaches select better team captain's.  This year were good players and good guys but doers not talkers.  Some of the past captains would have B**CH slapped Royal, or Camon.  

2.  New QB coach, and possibly OC...definitely new QB coach.  

3.  Alot of dead weight still clinging to this program, let it drop if they couldn't play on this team when we were a glorified 1-AA and C-USA, they'll never cut it in BE.

4.  Get the younger guys developed and on-board.

5.  Make sure Johnny Jones,  and Tim Jones are ready to lead this team to greatness.  No more attitudes, get this team in check.

1. QB  Take away the "abundance" of INTs and USF is bowl eligible.

2./3.  DL & DB  Youth and a poor rush made for ugly Bull defense in 2004.

4. WR  The droppsies need to go.  Part of this problem was due to Pat's lack of "touch".

S.Bien,

Give some for instants/examples in regards to the atitude problem besides Royals UAB incident?  And what's the deal w/Mike Jenkins?  He looked overmatched several times Saturday.  Was he playing on Pitt's No. WR?  I thought he was our best cover guy.
