I put this season's poor performance squarely on Coach Dodge and Coach Deloach, period. Coach Dodge recognized the best players were not played, and he did nothing. As much as he would not want to step on another coach's turf, he was still the head coach. He distanced himself from other position plays, as if it would not impact the outcome of the games; but it did. Coach Deloach came in with a great deal of expectations from all of us. He was more like a "messiah" after Coach Mendoza's debacle. What happened? He was saddled with baggage, either from inside the coaching staff, or from outside sources; Mendoza Era lived on. Coach Deloach did not play his best players. He allowed himself to be handicapped by craps from last season. The players recognized what was going on and it impacted their perfomance; their best players were on the sideline. Popularity and favoritism shown by the coaches did not win games and the season proved it. The team was not given the best option to win. The seniors who chose to play on Saturday were, perhaps, making a statement. It was not an inability on their part that their season was wasted, but poor judgement on their coaches. The seniors who chose not to play, perhaps, had nothing to prove to anyone. To the 17 seniors: Davenport, Davidson, Dawson, Fitzgerald, Glass, Henderson, Johnson, Mahan, Meager, Miller, Nurudeen, Phillips, Rose, Smith, Spencer, Stickler, and Thomas may your future be brighter than your past. May you accomplish great things in your lives. Remember your alma mater. You are always MeanGreen. Make us proud. God's Blessings.

I agree with you to some extent. We have one of the best corners in the Sunbelt Conference on our squad, #31, and we hardly see him play. We are not playing our best personnels.

The passionate players on the team could not contribute from the sideline. The second half defense showed there were players with fire in their bellies. They just need to be played. The defense squad for that second half should be played more. We, probably, would not be 0/7 with that squad.

Wow!! someone is giving Nurudeen a bad rap. I had done some quick investigation since your publication. The following information I obtained: 1. The kid is very respectful, especially to adults. 2. He is very supportive of his team mates; example of Evan Rowan was given. Evan stayed with Nurudeen, free of charge for a month last Summer, when he was not on scholarship himself. When Evan had more playtime and Nurudeen was on the sideline, the kid remained Evan's good friend. 3. The kid is from a disciplined family, so he is disciplined. 4. He is very smart and his family expects high academic standard from him. 5. The kid is fast, strong, tackles well and very aggressive on the football field. The kid has skills. 6. He plays with passion and hates to lose. I hope Coach Dodge intervenes in what is going on. I believe it is turning to last year dejavu-Mendoza era.

This is conference; we want to see him play.

This publication in a local newspaper was forwarded to me by a friend in Houston. http://www.hcnonline.com/articles/2008/08/...udeen_story.txt

Thank you Lord. We know you see our hearts and hear our cries. You are omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient. Please continue to guide TD with his selections. As for Ron, please provide him a position that he will flourish in, Amen.

If Tina is the DC.

That alone could have done us more good had he coached the corners.

Which results in 2-10.

Just have him incharge of the line and or equipment.

The biting cold, the continuous rain and a holiday weekend everyone should be excused. It was a great game but the weather made it miserable. All my digits are still numb.

You are definitely correct.

Or just get someone that can teach the defensive players some schemes. Mendoza can help with conditioning.

Our defense is in crisis. Please find us a doctor that can stop the bleeding. You do not have to fire anyone. Just get us an outside doctor that knows some defense asap. Our current DC can help in other areas.
