Message: [QUOTE="ktuck911, post: 4351047, member: 989"] It's a gut feeling. Should've posted it that way. We've made a lot of changes indeed but this time it looks a lot different. We have guys coming in from the portal that are a little better than years past, not a bunch of 1st year kids still growing into their bodies. The biggest change we mustn't discount is we have a staff full of proven commodities. Our staff was a joke before. No disrespect to the previous coaches, but it's concerning when you have guys learning on the job full-time when they've never coached those spots (OC, QB coaches,, even RB coach in particular) at this level (they probably did a small high school program) and our program has aspirations (along with the facilities) to ascend the FBS ranks. We had zero shot at getting the commits we've picked up over last 9 months if we had that old staff...Zero....sad stuff. We should see marked improvement... Time for a little more cautious optimism instead of the same old same old... the "bigger, faster, stronger" motto is out the door. We have a lot more to work with all around now.... [/QUOTE]
