Not sure everyone is understanding of college football landscape.  Miami paid a transfer DL $250,000 AND THE DUDE DOESN'T PLAY, He is a back up (insurance policy if you will.)  I totally understand on not wanting to throw money at players but the reality is if you can pay, kids will join.  If not, you're relying on finding kids who don't care about money (GOOD LUCK) and just want to compete and win football games. 

 

On our current roster 4 players from Littrell era contributed to wins this season.  Jordan Brown, Damon Ward, Jett Duncan, and Rod Brown.  We played 10 games with a very sub par DC.  We did not pursue the portal near hard enough to help fill holes in the defensive scheme.  IMO at our level we should be a 4 down front with the ability to hop in and out of 3 down when needed in favorable down and distances.  46 players on the current roster are Jr or Sr. 

The vast majority of this roster are So, RS Fr, and the biggest group being true Freshman.  You don't win a bunch of games at any level with a bunch of true freshman.  The fact we've been in them to compete has been a miracle (No I am not happy we aren't pulling them out or winning.)  The young and transfer talent they have brought in is encouraging to me personally.  Should we play better, should we be making more plays, ABSOLUTELY.   However, coach can't catch the ball for guys, coach can't catch wide open TD's for guys.  Coach can't magically make a walk on WR/ ST guy into a bonafide D1 RB.  Our scholarship RB's have been banged up like crazy and we have relied on a walk on, and 2 True Freshman RB.   I think we go to Temple, play very well and get into a bowl game and then its on.  

 

Coach lost our most productive OL in pregame to a freak injury...... PREGAME.  Sometimes the ball doesn't bounce your way.  Is he perfect? no, but to call for the staff and his job is silly in year 2.  The guy did a total rebuild last year and had us IN games with a completely rebuilt roster.  He needs to make the right DC hire in the offseason.  My pick is La Tech current DC.  We will see what happens.

You make valid points, but most on this site lack logic and reason. They’ll just say they’re better fans for expecting more and that you’re part of the problem.

No, most people are happier when the product they support with time, energy, and (most importantly) money has some ROI. 
 

Tell ya what, name for me another thing you’d invest those three things in with no expectation of a pay off prior to year three…especially when those year three expectations are based on the biggest of “maybes”

Some fans claim lack of logic keeping EM when they also wanted SL gone. To me, we essentially extended SL to 5 more years by way of EM. Tell me I’m wrong.
