Congrats - Bowl Eligible

Some were fine with schemes we were running, glad our staff was not.

Our Ashe and Avery defensive scheme was perfectly terrible.

[asumba95]

Let me get this straight. The torch and pitchfork crew that blamed coach Clark and his staff for our 3-4 start are now taking credit for motivating the coaches to a three-game win streak. You guys are amazing.

That’s how armchair coaches roll

Imagine if we had adjusted sooner to the personnel available.

I’m glad pressure (internal and external) was there to make a change.

100%. If there was no pressure there are likely no changes and we don't see this turnaround. Like some of us said before, the talent is here. Those defending Clark tried to use the bad Drink class and COVID as an excuse but the reality was that was why were are not deeper in spots but was clearly not the reason why we were struggling.

We have seen a few players develop as well. I feel like Favors has come around and Joey has gotten a lot better to name a couple. We need to get the ball to Stroman more and I think we would seem big time stuff like that long TD he had.

My only question about Stroman is why don't we throw high throws to him?
Can he jump and catch?

If he can, he would be Wide Open like B. Quick

They were earlier in the year. Had promise first couple of games...then, for whatever, reason was not as successful. Given the decease in it being successful after a few games, I am actually glad they are not doing it as much.

Stroman had a beautiful run after catch, but hope he’s coached about the near taunt. Just play football.

Just an absolute observation but it looks like there might be a little bit of growing to do with him. Hurt us on the lack of effort a few games ago when he stopped running on a pass. Showboated yesterday. Hopefully he's getting coached up. Lots of potential

[Black Saturday]

You could see his potential on that play. Hope we can see more starting this Saturday.

I think so. It is a good question. I am wondering if he does not have the routes on play calls down pat?

[Appmountaineers19]

I think this team is playing with confidence on defense again. Besides the coaches who made great adjustments, I really believe the insertion of Jackson has given a shot of edginess that this defense needed.

Oh good grief. So what are you saying? The pressure fans on MMB caused the turn around and you were part of it? As far as adjusting to the personnel, ya think maturity, experience, jelling, experimentation and a new QB getting some game time savvy, had anything to do with it? Naah. It wasn't that. It was coach reading this board and learning, that did it.
And no, not looking for attention, Richmond App, just pointing out these guys knew what to do all along since they have actually coached a game or two and watched a bit of film.

I believe all the pressure in general. The talk around Boone, the boos at times from fans, comments on social media and 247/YC, knowing Everts does not like his appearance, the emails and calls he got, the emails and calls to Gillin, etc. He knew coming into the season he had to make changes and did. He then saw with how season is going that he was going to get fired if they did not produce wins and they have adjusted.

I give major kudos to Shawn for not being hardheaded and willing to make those changes. Sloan made the right move adjusting the defense. You notice how nobody is talking about how bad the safeties are now? A lot of players flourish under the right system but will struggle under others.

I still think we need to win 1 of the final 2 for him to be safe but with the progress over last 3 weeks I feel cautiously optimistic that we can win one or both of them. I don't even care about what CCU does and if we could play in the title game. I just want to think about beating JMU right now.

Clark supporters can't even let folks congratulate the team without making this about legitimate questions about Clarks coaching.

That's not what he said at all. I suspect you knew that.

[Bigdaddyg1]

Football results don't always go chalk but they often do for the most part. Great teams don't usually take awful losses and still win the big prize. Good teams might take a bad loss but bounce back and beat other good teams. We are a good team and right now the awful loss is ODU. We obviously have two opportunities to wipe that out but need help to completely overcome it- by winning the east. There are 59 bowl eligible teams (if I counted correctly) which is less than half of the bowl possible teams. That in itself is cool.

Actually I just view this as part of the tenor of this MMB by many posters who fantasize being better coaches albeit without any qualifications. That's what I knew. But you knew that as well. Just a little tit for tat with Richmond App.

89, some view every post as black or white and you are either 100% or 0% supportive of something.

Having nuanced discussion is a lost art form.

Where did he make any comment about being a better coach?

What does Richmond App have to do with it?

You sing on this board??? Daddy sang bass, Newapp sang tenor.... Me and little.brother would join right in there...

[AppState89]

Way too early to predict, lots of variables. With our attention and track record we should be able to avoid the “Bahamas” bowl that is relocated to UNCC’s tiny venue though.

That would be a great bowl to be in "this year only" . It would be in Charlotte where it would be close to all of us and we would pack the house. Save everyone a lot of money, university included. When it's played in the Bahamas, hell no!!!!
