We are loaded for next year. Great situation for a good coach to step into.

Not a good situation when both the guys starting and the key backups are underclassmen.

Unless they are really good underclassmen.

I disagree. Even if Calhoun is the next HC, which I am not really on board with, he is forced to run the option at Air Force.

Calhoun coached in the NFL for four seasons on zone-blocking running game, high percentage West Coast-style passing teams (Shanahan/Kubiak), and at Wake they ran a zone-read spread type scheme.

Wherever Calhoun goes after AFA, he will not "bring the option" with him.

Agree with you in all reality on what he would bring but I am just not on board with him. I am hearing it is a done deal and that the EB and Embree interviews are just window dressing to appease a family hire crowd. All could be rumors and someon could be trying to act like they know more than they do, but the smoke is getting thick and it is coming fromt he Springs.

We need a lot of better players still.

Yup. Our best pass rusher was a 225 lb converted reserve linebacker...no bueno.

Don't have a problem with a few very good underclassmen. Guys like Richardson, WillJeff, Bakhtiari, Kasa, Polk all need to be on the field and would be playing significant amounts at most schools. At he same time guys like Hirschmann, Bell, Uzo-Diribe, Smith, Bell should be way down the depth chart worried about getting ready for the future, not for the game that week.

 

[Ruckus]

^^Agree. Either way, we still have a lot to improve upon before we are a good team.

I know it was always a reach, but if we failed to get one of the top coaches in CFB(miles), because of a money issue....*sigh*....

I've been saying this for a while now. How can so many underclassmen be in our two deep? Like you said above, I don't mind a couple of kids here and there, but there have been a lot. Even before the injuries.

Good Lord. I can't understand the lack of development in this program. It's just unbelievable.

If it plays out like that we are done, unless we catch lightning in a bottle again with a Mac like hire.
