I know the program is short on bodies, it was disappointing to see the game get away from them in such a short period of time.
I can agree with that. It went from down 14-3 and driving at the end of the half to make it a 4/8 point game to suddenly being down 21-3 at the half after a bad pick.

Patience is tough, man. I feel that. But I do think we'll get back to the mountaintop with this staff.

When do you people stop blaming coaches for loses? So ludicrous and ignorant under the circumstances. We do not have a QB that can throw!! You can’t say your Tony Robbins crap about effort and no excuses, etc.... We are thin, injured, and have no chance of completing a progression of passes. Reminds me of coaching youth football, and some jackass Dad questioning why we don’t throw more...... BECAUSE YOU CANT! They are 8 years old! The analogy is the same here.
It’s not my point of view, it’s a fact.

I feel like you’re arguing with yourself here bud. There is hardly anyone questioning the staff. I don’t know if Loeffler is any good? We’re shorthanded, but we also aren’t playing very well against mediocre competition.

That is the reality of a total program rebuild. You take a step forward, you take a step or two back and then another forward. Despite all the progress, you can't simply erase old tendencies. It is frustrating for sure.

This is 2010 all over again. There were some close losses to good teams and then there were brutal blowouts to Kent and WMU. Young teams are up and down. The biggest takeaway is we are heading a better direction now than anytime recently, and that includes some serious growing pains.

I misread your post. Thought you said won’t make it with this staff. My bad.
