Nobody is calling for anyone's head but I think it's fair to expect some changes in the offensive approach, if we don't see improvement by the end of the year. Still early and I know things can get better. Heck, we could turn it around and win 6 or 7 games but USM was a game we all marked as a very probable win and special teams and coaching caused us to lose.moehler wrote:well it didn't take long for someone to call for SS head, no offense, but I totally disagree, SS and the staff is having still deal with the mess left by Moore, we got players starting who really aren't FBS talent, but SS has no choice but to put them in the game. Don't get me wrong, Im not happy with 12 penalties, that shows a lack of discipline and I put the blame squarely on the coaching staff, like his players, SS and his staff needs to grow up quick, and improve their coaching techniques, but Im certainly 100% in the camp that they deserve alteast a couple more years to put on the field a competitive FBS program. As far as being envious of GS, I wouldn't be so quick to fall in love with their new head coach, this year they brought in 6, I repeat 6 JUCO to play for them, they are also a senior dominated team. They have put togeather a team to win now, we will see how this works for them in a couple of years. One more thing, you might not like SS coaching, but him and his staff are hell of recruiters, number one class, by Rivals, in the SBC this year. Be patent.
As far as those recruiting rankings you don't need to put so much stock in that. Drew Brees' recruiting class was suppose to be the worst in the Big Ten and Purdue won the Big Ten his senior year. I could give you hundreds of examples of unrated and 2 star players who ended up being NFL Pro Bowlers. That's just the opinion of some guys who write for websites that cover recruiting. We won't know if we had the #1 class until 4-5 years later. With that said, I thought our class was pretty good for the most part. And if we do have the best incoming talent the last two years like some believe, it just means we better see a winning program once those players have been on campus 2-3 years. The #1 recruiting class, if they are right, only happens if it translates to wins.
