Yes, today is Early Signing Day. We’ve had a few decommits, so I’m curious to see who actually gets signed. I’d also like to know who will get here in January. Looking forward to welcoming our future Mean Green!
I think all of this is valid. The issue with Cassity is there's no year 2 at Sam Houston to evaluate. That’s not his fault, his coach was hired away. Did he progress throughout the season or did his competition get drastically worst? Well, it did. Hard to evaluate a defense against what he faced. I just don't see why once again, we have to be the ones to take a risk on a relatively unknown.
Regarding Liberty beating ECU, that was at the start of the year. We played ECU with a new QB and different coach. ECU was putting up numbers when we played them (28 vs Army, 56 vs Temple, 49 vs FAU, 38 vs Tulsa, 40 vs us, 20 vs Navy all after the change). Liberty otherwise played nobody this year. No p4, no tough competition out of conference, and even in a weak conference, they didn't do well.
Like you said, all is not an apples-to-apples comparison. This hire just seems like a huge overreaction to a decent first year coordinating in a horrible conference. Tired of taking flyers on guys. We needed somebody experienced to right the ship.
