We’re cooked as a program.
This roster is so bad.
JMU brought in 64 last year and 50 this year, so rosters can be flipped rather quickly nowadays. The question is whether we hired the right coach, time will tell but it is not a good start at all to his tenure. The announcers made an interesting point earlier in the game, JMU primary brings in FCS all stars from the portal and we tend to bring in FBS guys (that haven't played). I think it is pretty clear which system works better.
I helped they were hot as NIL started going. We started falling off as it ramped up. Now we don't have money or any pull on name recognition its seems.
I'm guessing JMU has more money than us without looking it up though.

We were trending down. They were trending up. Time to increase our student fees to compete. Just a tad.

Not covering too well on punts now either. Bad combo.

I am not sure how much they have for NIL, but we out raise them in donations and have better ticket sells so I am not all that certain that they have ore NIL. And again, probably costs a lot less to bring up FCS kids. I doubt any of our Sun Belt peers are really outspending us in NIL. Seems odd that we have higher donations but somehow they would have more NIL. I think a lot of times NIL is used by bad teams as an excuse for poor coaching and preformance.

Here’s a question: how far back do you have to go to think of an app team worse than this one?

37 yards of offense.
20 yards of penalties.
Tracking which one is higher is a new low.

Student fees. I recall ours being extremely low and JMU extremely high. If that’s what it takes…

Kohl isn’t any better. I say put the freshman in. If we go down in flames might as well do it with someone that might have a future for us.

We have one of the strongest fan bases in the G5. The athletic department’s number one priority should be figuring out how to monetize it.
