Napier Shooting straight

[angeleast]

Some of ya ll act like this is the 3rd year of this coaching regime.. Geez.. Its takes time to build from the disaster of inadequate recruiting and probation just year before and back. Some of our fan base are our own worst enemy.

Opinion is fine. Thinking you can do anything about something you find "unacceptable" which is beyond your control is pointless.

Fans control everything when the money starts to dry up things change quickly.

Thats at every level From High School to Pro

No argument. However when you have a first year coach showing improvement there is little you can do to change things.

Fill us in. At this exact time, what change do you suggest, expect or believe should happen.

Vegas had our over/under win total at 4.5.

We had a terrible d last year and lost some of our best players to draft and injury. The coaches got a very late jump on recruiting and the early signing period had a bigger impact tHan most predicted. We came into the year without a proven qb, kicker and punter and zero defense. All of those things plus many other are why we were expected to win 4.5 games.

What in the world did you expect these coaches to do? Coastal got away but stAte was an upset. A win next week and this team beats the odds. A conference championship and bowl game are still realistic expectations.

I will be one of the proud 12k in the stands on Saturday so what if our safeties still down know how to play zone or we run a read option minus the read. I'm just happy we filed a team maybe even next season we can get Lamar for a game

IDC about wins this year it's about fundamentals and execution we looked lost Saturday and very ill-prepared. This was not the first time this season we looked like that.

Most are confusing a good person with a good coach.

Napier is likeable and tells the truth according to what most want to here.

At this point, Napier is an average head coach with potential which is not bad as this is his first head coaching job.

Your comment is appreciated and not without merit. We don't know at this point, it's hard to tell because Napier is very likable. He appears to have what it takes by what we have seen, but there isn't anything we can really hang our hat on. He's won a couple and lost a couple that could have gone either way. I'm hopeful he can get us there, but not 100 percent convinced yet. Like we have been saying, only time will tell, and that means a year or two more.

I agree with your point that wins aren't necessarily the best indicator of improvement. Also, improvement isn't a straight line of up and to the right. We want the overall trend, like a stock graph, to go up and to the right, but there will be dips in that path.

Outside of statistics like wins, yards gained, yards allowed, etc ... the rest is fairly subjective.

My opinion is that if we make a bowl game this season, we are getting our money's worth from this staff.

If we win the West, we are getting more than our money's worth and if we win the conference, we got a bargain.

Like I said, this is my opinion from attending games since 1975. I understand how people have different expectations than me, this is just how I feel about where we are in the program right now.

You thinking that we think we can do anything about it is funny
