If you look at how many starters we return we should be a better team next season. What positions do we need to improve? In my opinion it is in order dline, oline, and qb. If we improve in these areas I think we could have a winning season.

I think that you have to throw the defensive backfield in there somewhere. With the exception of Weathers, the db was mediocre at best.

And, until JTs health is 100% I'm even uncomfortable at rb. I doubt that Mitchell could take that kind of pounding for 11 or 12 games and Robertson is smallish, though extremely fast.

You are right that the defensive line has to be the greatest concern. Unless Big Cat Raymond could miraculously come back, or we can find a couple a couple of JUCO studs, we are in caca hondo.

If you were hurting after the Tulsa game, just get ready to witness a major ass whipping at the hands of SMU in OUR house.

Prepare yourselves. It's gonna happen.

Oh man... I have a feeling that is going to happen, but I sure hope not. If we get blown out by SMU say hello to averaging 13,000 or less next yr.

6-6. Say hello to DD saving his job for another year. There is no possible way we'll be any good without some run stopping DT's, and we won't get them this offseason....that said, we should be able to pull out a few more Sun Belt games but will get drubbed in every out of conference game again.

If there is no change to the strategy in which we currently play the game.....

5-8 at best and that is with no OCC wins.

Hopefully I will be proven wrong.  sad.gif

Well I hope this helps smile.gif , I will prove you wrong 5+8=13 and with that record I doubt we would go to the bowl with a 5-7 year.

Sorry I could not resist.

Lifer, please explain your confidence in Darrell Dickey's ability to coach us to a victory over an SMU team that competes against superior competition, and finished 2005 on a hot streak.

SMU lost AT Tulsa 13 to 20. We lost AT home to Tulsa 54 to 2.

Go ahead. Please instill me with your confidence!

I don't know why everyone is so negative, I think next year will be awesome. Here is how I see it:

@TU: W 24-10: Ryan Perilou will become a T.O. like cancer to the shorthorns, causing the team and the fans to lose their focus. This will enable Meager to ignite our ofense, and our superior D will shut Texas down.

@ Tulsa: W 34-7: We will blow into Tulsa and completly dominate them.

vs SMU: W 56-10: With a soldout Fouts, the mousestangs will not ever be in the game as our rabid fans scare the crap out of SMU players. a couple hundred disenfranchised SMU fans will be turned away at the door, leaving Fouts full of NT fans

vs MTSU: W 42-14: The new MTSU coach will have gotten the TPS memo on NT domination of the series, because it contained the infamous cover sheet.

@ Troy: W 35-10: NT rolls into Troy and pulls off an easy win, and the fans leave with some of those pretty blond southern belles.

vs FIU: W 28-0: The NT D pitches a shutout. FIU won't even compete in the superiour Fouts

@ULM: W 55-10: Weatherbie is too focused on taking shots at Jamario during the week to prepare for the game. After the game, Jamario tells Weatherbie, "Try 'Hooked on Coaching'. It worked for me."

vs La Tech W 48-14: NT makes it 2 - 0 against Louisiana with a convincing win over the Bulldogs.

@ LALA: W 35-10: NT learns to run the no huddle, leaving the LALA D scrambling on every play.

vs FAU W 42-7: The NT Green machine sleepwalks past the Owls.

@ ASU: W 35-10: The Wolfs, Indians, or whatever they're called can't take their eyes off of their sisters long enough to show up.

Hey people, thats a freakin awesome 11-0

I hope we can match this year's win total, but after what I saw I think we were lucky to have gotten 2 under our belt. I will hope for 3 because that means we are headed back in the right direction.

Needs:

#1-> D-Line Size

#2-> Offensive Tackle

#3-> QB

#4-> MLB speed

#5-> Corner

The Offense struggled due to QB and mediocre play from both tackles. The center got better as the year went on. Let's hope Rose and Phillips/Juco/Byerly/Meager will improve over the offseason.

The poor run defense was a direct hit on the undersized DT's and average MLB play. Mendoza has a huge heart & motor but is too slow, IMO. He's a 2 down situational player at best. Upgrading the MLB position alone will improve the D tremendously.

As for record, I'm still unsure. My MG heart says 7-5 and a Bowl birth, but my brain says with DD a record of 5-7 is more likely.

      7 Home Games Next Year

      If you bought season tickets for 2024, they're the same price for 2025 even with more home games.

      Earth to GMG

      in the new world of NIL coaches contracts should not be signed for more than three years. There is no longer the luxury of building a team.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I just hope Jared has been working the phones trying to gather up the money to get rid of this guy. We need to cut our losses before he tanks us like Mac did and we end up getting pummeled by some FCS program again.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      Regarding the guys with no FBS HC experience, I personally have no issue with that. If we pluck a HC from a lower level, it needs to be somebody with extensive HC experience. There's guy who spend almost 10 years as a lower level HC. Examples include Lance Leipold of Kansas who went 109-6 over 8 seasons at D3 Wisconsin-Whitewater before being hired at Buffalo. Bob Chesney of James Madison went 111-46 over the course for 14 seasons at various D2 and FCS schools. There's guys out there to be plucked. My choice is to promote from within with Cobbs. Cobbs may not work at HC and I know it's a huge leap in responsibility but you won't know unless you try and others haven't worked out. He's worked wonders at RB and he's been doing it for a while. I'm sure he's made connections over the course of his playing and coaching career and would surround himself with experienced winners. My biggest thing is he loves this school and would want to succeed for the love of the school and not just for his own career. I looked back at Boise State head coaches since 2001 and found every single BSU HC spent time coaching at BSU prior to becoming HC and a few played at BSU as well. Several were promoted to HC from within, some went and became coordinators elsewhere before returning as their HC, and only 2 had prior HC experience, Bryan Harsin and Dan Hawkins. Harsin actually left to become Texas's co-OC and then Arkansas State's HC for a 1 year before returning to BSU as their HC but he'd been a coordinator there prior and played at BSU. I believe he's currently on the market and only 48 if we wanted somebody with experience though poor recruiting was a complaint at Auburn. Boise State kind of debunks the whole "prior HC experience" requirement, though.
