Sad to say but I think the only entertainment I'm going to derive from watching Eastern football is watching the wheels come off the wagon.
The defense has sucked bad the last several seasons if the offense isn't absolutely dunking on the defense EWU is screwed because it means the offense sucks too. That's been the problem with the last several spring balls, the defense either won or did well.
I think if Eastern is going to do well we need the linebackers to step up. Sanders is going to probably run a 3-4 defense so its mostly going to be on the linebackers to plug gaps and read the offense well and anticipate any misdirections run offenses love to do in the FCS now a days.. It's probably good they hired a full time LB coach. I don't really like most of Best's decisions but credit where its due, lets hope it was a good hire and works out.
I do admit it is interesting to see who gets the QB job although knowing Best I'll be disappointed and it will end up being Jared Taylor running some run heavy, play action pass shit.

E-Wu Tang Clan I totally agree with you. I wish it was otherwise but like you I don't like to pretend that EWU football is not in shambles because it is. As a matter of fact the whole EWU sports programs ake kind of downtrodden.

Ya I get these things are cyclical and you can't stay on top forever. Eastern does will despite having to compete with flagship schools like Montana schools. I would like to see more effort not secret extension's for ineffective football coaches. I don't follow basketball as much but it seemed since Hayford there had always been an heir apparent for basketball head coach. Odd that want the case this last time.
