PSU @ Southern Utah

I heard at least 6 to 10 kids from the 2012 class are asking for their release as soon as this season ends. They all loved football but say at this point with this staff it is the worst thing in their life. Some are trying to transfer to other big sky schools and some are just done with it. They say Burton and staff sucked the joy of football from their life.

This is very bad news if true. That was the best signing class they've had in quite some time.

I've been supportive of the coaching staff since day 1 knowing what a daunting job it was to rebuild a team after the Glanville debacle. That said, no team wins that doesn't play together. If there aren't enough players buying in to the system and with faith in the staff, there is an endemic problem that can only be fixed by the staff (or new staff).

Let's face it, SUU was a MUST WIN game and we failed miserably. I know the confidence of the fans has been shattered. This is the easiest part of the schedule, let's hope a couple of good games gets this team feeling like they can win again. I don't mind losing but I just can't stand to see the team give games away week after week. It's making me bitter.

I've been reading THE SAME THING YEAR AFTER YEAR. We'll get them next game or next year is our year. Let's face it our time is now. We have better players than most teams we face. It's a coaches job to fire them up and prepare them to win. We have more than enough players that come from winning programs, they know how to win and they want to win but they've got to be put in the position to win.

GVG,

The team with the best players doesn't always win. The best "team" usually does. There's an intangible there that takes both players and coaches to achieve. Maybe we need a coaching change, but it WON'T happen at least until the season is over and probably not until NBs contract is up. It does no good to push for it now, it just makes dissension worse.
