As upsetting as this is now...I have news for all of you. This is going to get worse before it ever has a chance to get better. While I don't think that our senior class is by any means great...next season we lose about 30 players from the depth chart and will breaking in a whole new crop of inexperienced players. You may not want to hear this, but inside the walls of Dal Ward they know this, have tried to coach it that way in hopes of helping for next year etc.
I have had a few different coaches tell me that they really don't know what they will have til the middle to end of next season. This is not to say they don't think they can or will win before that, but they know how behind the eight ball they are with talent and depth. I try to be as honest as I can when I look at our teams, some of you get upset because we are not "upbeat" on the radio show etc. Bottom line is we are not very good! We are deficient in a ton of areas and need to get better players to correct this. We have a few D1, BCS caliber players, but we need 40 of them...not 8.
I am not a huge fan of what Embree and friends have done so far! I am not patient and will never be...but we have to play the hand we were dealt. Say what you want about the previous staff, but they dealt the hand and Enbree has to play with it for now. We are going to have to do everything better...recruit, coach, etc.
I am sorry this is so doom and gloom from my view, but I think it is time we look at the real situation, figure out how and when it can be fixed...and rally a fan base around that.
It was great to see and meet some of you today...Sacky, great as usual.
