[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 368161, member: 282"] I appreciate the venting and the need for venting. Not saying I'm right here, but some of the things I think: [LIST=1] [*]I think the guy who does "Football Study Hall" asked "If you could spend 15 points into your ideal coach in these 4 categories, how would you spend them?" and his response was "Recruiting = 5; Player Development = 5; In-Game Coaching =3; Ethics = 2". I think CPJ comes out about "2/3/5/5", and I'm possibly rating him high on player development. [*]We do a little bit of moneyball with the triple option scheme because we aren't competing for exactly the same players, but we have a lot of QBs, A-Backs, and B-Backs. We lost our top two B-Backs in the offseason, and we still ended up with depth there. If we lost our top two DTs or OTs, we'd be done for the season, and we start two of each and rotate on the DL. We don't recruit enough linemen. We always seem thin on both lines. I think back to Matt Millen running the Detroit Lions, where he kept drafting skill players but no one who could block. We're a STEM school, we should be able to figure out how to manage our roster.
