Let's get this out of the way. Kramer has done just what Tingey wanted him to do; raise the APR, recruit good kids, and be a positive influence in the area. For the new comers to this page, anyone here less than five years, we are right on schedule for turning the program around. The first three years were spent getting our APR under control, getting our scholarships back, and positioning ourselves for the future. To do that Kramer gave a large portion of scholarship money to high academic walk-ons. Additionally, for three years we still had influences from Zamberlin's recruiting on the team, some good, some not so good. Our scholarship were returned a couple of years ago allowing us to begin building again thus you see more depth at each position each year.
Now look to next year; we return our QB, all our linemen, have three TE's on team, all our RB's but one, three starting WR. The Defense returns everyone but 1 safety, 1 LB, and 3DL. We have two DT redshirted to replace the two leaving and a DE who redshirted this year. Next year we will be a JR/Soph dominated team all with playing experience and depth from last years recruiting class. Kramer didn't know for sure what was going to happen this year or he said he didn't. But anyone who knows football knew we would struggle because of youth, depth, and one bad ass schedule. Speaking from experience, fire coaches does not always work at this level. It's not like we are going to have the next Kyle Whittingham wanting our job. For example we didn't get Gary Anderson because we couldn't afford his assistant coaches, back to one of our issues, money talks. Instead of bitching on a message board why not donate to the bengal foundation, I do every year.
