I believe it can be easy to overestimate talent sometime, maybe particularly when there’s a new HC, high expectations, and mediocre to poor outcomes. The coach is often the first target and perhaps rightfully so. Personally, I felt like our roster was very average, due mostly to recent neglect toward recruiting. AR’s athletic ability and high hopes probably elevated expectations even more. The offense was good one dimensionally, but the defense was sub par, especially in tackling and pass coverage. Concerning the latter, for most of the season our DBs couldn’t cover a hooker with a bed sheet. Coaching on that side has to take some responsibility, though I believe they were also bereft of talent.I was one of the loudest here talking about our talent level being better than perceived. After a few games, you could see that it’s too much average guys who’d never be starting in any of our better teams. The defense, specifically, is loaded with that. But so is the O at certain spots.
Holy crap! So it’s you that has been helping Foley and Stricklin select our last several coaches!Then again, I'm jaded. I'm on my 4th marriage in the last 13 years. Every time I think I've found the one, but in the end, it has cost me…
