Until the end of the season, I was in the camp that felt that the defense needed to be fixed much more than the offense. At the end, even though I still felt like the offense was better, and the stats backs that up, I felt changes would be good on both sides. So, we get Coach Riley a young up and coming coach with stats at ECU, that are almost identical to JH! I think he has talent and potential and I like LR! I think he will bring energy and he will be hungry. The new enthusiasm and attitude, will hopefully be what we need. But, this bio on this coach DS , does not even include 2014. This year they won 3 games! Can anyone show me how he stacks up better against Jay in any category?? More wins, better recruits, better stats, anything ??? Why are we going to a program that has 3 wins, when we we trying to revive our program, back to national prominence ? Yes, we have better talent ( that Jay brought in), yes, Lincoldn Riley will have more to work with as a play caller, but I'm sorry , I still don't get placing the rebuilding of your entire program on a guy from ECU, without getting him someone to work with that is a proven consistent winner , in program similar to ours. And then there is the elephant , still standing in the room! Why have we not at least filled our open Defensive coaching position, with a proven winner. Just tonight, we lost another recruit to OSU, on national tv! I know we can't get them all, but Monty can't be everywhere either. Thank goodness we have him, and we paid him the money to stay, because he is working the D , and saving us. In my opinion, we would really be in a world of hurt , if not for him. I don't know, it may just be be me, but I just feel like program like ours, could reel in in some coaches that know how to get it done on the big stage! After all, we all heard, Josh wasn't ready for the big stage, and we should never have let him learn on the job! Sorry for the many edits , Yahoo kept kicking me off and telling it's engineers were working it out!
