Didn't more offensive linemen transfer out than any other position? That makes me wonder about Polly's personality. Why did so many of his guys leave?Yet, Mike Polly will still be the OL coach next fall. We'll still be watching our new QB run for his life and be unable to run the ball.
Probably because they realize they will never be coached up, or given the opportunity to make it to the next levelDidn't more offensive linemen transfer out than any other position? That makes me wonder about Polly's personality. Why did so many of his guys leave?
This is me. I'm beyond happy. I've said before for this season to be successful in my mind we had to win the bowl and keep building. We are 15-11 past two years, since Covid. That is how I look at it. Positive momentum. I've always been a glass half full guy.Well done article.
All in all, in a vacuum - not a bad season. A good one really. Bowl win, 8 wins, big win over Miami. I'm satisfied, not happy or overjoyed or particularly proud, but satisfied.
Yet again, still no trip to the mountain top. No one cares about bowls anymore (82 teams make bowls). The only real achievable and also reasonable goal of this program needs to be a CUSA championship. Yet, we were essentially eliminated by early October. Again.
I enjoyed last night. I can see the bones of a successful program, so, as much as I bash Stockstill, I don't think it's all rotten. Which makes it so much more frustrating - with a little more effort on the recruiting trail, a little more accountability from his position coaches (I'm looking at you O-line) - there's absolutely no reason that we can't win at the level we all want to and deserve to. And I feel like we just need a spark to start a fire - you want fuller stadiums, and fuller coffers and better facilities and all that stuff - we don't have to wait around for exit fees from teams leaving for greener pastures. We never did.
Games like last night make it feel so close. Just a tweak here, swap out some deadweight assistants, land a few better recruits than we normally do - it's right there. Just do it Stock!
Yet, Mike Polly will still be the OL coach next fall. We'll still be watching our new QB run for his life and be unable to run the ball. We'll still flop to open the season, be out of CUSA contention before the leaves turn. We'll still somehow win 6 games over the dregs, absorb beat downs by teams with far more ambition and effort, but still reach the admins goal of "BOWL ELIGIBILITY! (We're in the top 82!). RInse, lather, repeat.
