7 yards of total offense. WTF.

That's in the second half. 75 yards in the first half.

Yeah, when we are facing their powder puff champions. Guess they are to talented for our starters.

Pay attention would be a start. There needs to be leadership. It is not enough to bring in deep pockets to pay the bills, there needs to be a sense of accountability. I see no evidence that CM is going to be treated any differently than JJ was. If he does the job that's great, but we all believe that he will not be here for the long haul, so if our AD doesn't learn from its mistakes then we are doomed to repeat.

You really didn't say anything comprehensible-sound like a Soccer fan trying to make sense of something you don't understand

,
Let me spell it out for you. You Stallion, more than most, complained about the lack of quality recruits coming in the JJ era, particularly 2011 forward. Are we to accept that it is OK that the AD did not notice this? And, as the AD knew more than most, JJ wanted out in 2011. It had not gone the way he thought it would. Is it OK that the AD did nothing to ensure that this desire to leave would not adversely impact the program?

On another level, JJ had made a habit out of bringing in coaches that did not appear to be great fits for what was needed or to perform well when they arrived. But the AD continued to authorize the hires and appear to have taken zero steps to alter the JJ approach to recruiting. This approach, it must be remembered, was exactly the approach to recruiting that JJ talked about when he arrived. The AD sat back and watched this approach fail to work. It was clear in 2013 that GG was papering over a LOT of cracks but instead of moving to remove JJ, the AD convinced JJ to stay. Our AD has shown itself to be utterly unable to manage situations for the betterment of the program. There were serious problems amongst the coaching staff, most notably Reinbold and Klemm, and again the AD appears to have done nothing. There has NEVER been a statement out of the AD to suggest that standards were not high enough. There is no leadership.

The only spine in the athletic department is on the COC checkbook.

What should the AD have done? Hired JJ coaches for him? Remember JasonB, yourself, and Ponyboy liked JJ hires and recruiting.[/quote]
True that he was a JJ supporter longer than most.

Now it's the AD's fault though.

Bright side - we aren't starting inside our own 10 on this drive

Crap football from the Shetlanders today

Hopefully next year will be a seven game turnaround likr JJ's second year. Did Bennett leave a lot of talent?

We aren't in an easy CUSA anymore. It will proably take a couple of years like USF did. Who do you guys hire after Herman leaves?

Hopefully 3MM keeps Herman around a while longer. Need progress towards P5, just like SMU does, to keep top coaches. We both have to hire top assistants or HCs with low buyouts.

Well, at least the EPL is on.

We have a talent issue. Most certainly. That is not the only problem here.

As a fanbase we have GOT to stop being so myopic. There are MUCH broader problems with our football team and our athletics generally.

Athletics generally?

SMU has again finished as the top-ranked Conference USA school in the final Learfield Sports Directors' Cup Division I standings, NACDA announced today. With the win, SMU has been ranked as the best overall collegiate athletics program in its conference in 11 of the last 13 years.
