where's the beef? err.... talent?

Yeah, but Bob thinks we can be a good running team.
It's about the only thing he's said he thinks we can do well.

Don't forget.......its all about the wind! It's all about being cold and wet. Those are reasons why we can't throw in the NE.

Doesn't seem to bother teams from the south that play here once every two years.

Must be colder in Maine.....but they throw the ball.

Just an excuse for inability to recruit a QB.

Nevermind that it POURS at some of these games in the South...

I haven't read all three pages of this thread, so apologies if I'm repeating what someone else said.....

the biggest difference re: talent/recruiting classes is that under RE and his staff, players developed and greatly improved during their time here. Under PP/GDL (and apparently BD) there appears to be very little improvement/development over the years. RE's recruiting classes were in the same ballpark as the last 5-6 years, or even worse, but by the time his kids were juniors/seniors the majority of them were playing at the same or greater levels than those higher rated recruits who went else where. That has rarely happened the past 6 seasons, it's more of an exception when it does happen. RE's gift was projecting how good a player would be in 2-3 years, and then coaching them up to reach their potential... PP/BD and their staffs lack that

There is an old saying about good coaches. He can take his and beat your or take yours and beat his. Unfortunately we have had two consecutive coaches who couldn't take anybody's and beat a jr. high team.
