Looks like I'm at 6-6, too. As much as I buy into the theory that Coach Jones does, indeed, walk on water, that seems a little high. But since I'm not yet fully awake, that's the prediction for the moment.

at Rice - WIN
...........................................
Texas State - WIN
............................
at Texas Tech - LOSS
.................................
TCU game - LOSS
...................................
at Tulane - WIN

You'll need to forgive me for not knowing much about your team... I've been following, and supporting, the Warriors the past decade. That said, knowing JJ and his history as well as I do... I will say 8-4... I won't give you a game-by-game win-loss scenario, because too much can happen between now and when the games are actually played... (injuries, etc.) But 8-4 with JJ is very realistic...

How bad was Hawaii really when JJ took over? The ponies last year had 1 win, but with some sort of defense, or a little bit of competent coaching, we could easily have had 5 wins. Was Hawaii in a similar boat, or were they just that horrible?

they were 0-12 before he got there. sounds like a comibination of horrible coaching & poor skill position players but JJ said they had some pretty talented lineman

The point of my question was to find out whether JJ took a team that was 0-12, but could have easily had 4 or 5 more wins with slight improvement (like the ponies last year), or whether he made his miracle turnaround with a team that was a solid 0-12. I went ahead and looked up the scores from that year - they were a solid 0-12 and got beat handily in every game.

The same turn around at SMU would result in an 11 win season. Don't think that's going to happen though.

I don't think we'll be able to what a new coach can do until he gets at least one more recruiting class of his own players.

4-8. Look at our schedule and I think only 4 games are against teams who DID NOT play in a bowl last season. I would improve my 4-8 prediction some if I knew that JWill was going to get his act together and be starting QB for us. I have reservations about predicting a lot of improvement with that difficult schedule and a signal caller who has yet to take a snap in college football.
