So we are going to lose more games this year than we did last year, that does not seem right.
We likely would have been 5-7 anyways. Chadwells Liberty team would have ran all over Sloan & Co.
You mean Cheatwell would have run all over Coach Spit's team, almost glad we didn't play that one.

True. This was about the time they started barely communicating anyways. Hard to have a cohesive team with coaches not working together.

7-5 minimum. 8-4 is my prediction. 10-2 ceiling depending on how the defense and OL struggles from recent seasons transform.

Nobody knows anything about this team at this point. Heck, we don't even know who are going to be our starters. On paper, we picked up a lot of good talent but that talent was very thin on experience so nobody really has any basis to judge at this point. I hope we don't finish 5-7 but honestly I have no idea how we will play. I am hopeful that we have a good season and at least make a bowl, but won't be shocked if we don't. This really turned into a complete rebuild and with a first time head coach, first time DC, and lots of other first time parts....it is really a blind guess as to how we will do this year.
Agree that we don’t know what we have. Outside of the Swann kid, most of these guys haven’t seen the field at their previous school(s) to know if they are any good. And Swann isn’t a guaranteed QB1 for us. As such, I don’t know that its accurate to say that the talent looks good on paper.
Wiles will never be a starting QB by choice for us. I know you are holding onto that hope as a last ditch effort for the previous staff. He is pleased serving as a backup and enjoying that way of life.
Here you are once again trying to manufacture some sort of narrative in the hopes that you will draw some blood and then cry victim when you get put in your place.

I didn’t mention Wiles in any shape or form. Never said I think he will be QB1 and I certainly don’t look at him getting the starting nod as some form on vindication for the previous staff. I was referring to the current group of transfers coming in. Swann and Kohl are going to get preferential treatment over the other three simply because they are Louggains’ guys.

This is the type of behavior that got you booted from 24/7.
Here you go again with your BS. “Preferential treatment”. They are getting the main reps because they have shown to be the best QBs on the roster relatively quickly.

By the way, I can go back to 24/7 but I chose not to because David receives no info anymore. Waste of money.
BS? Were you watching the same Spring Ball game that I was? No one stood out to be better than the other. If anything, the true Freshman showed me more upside than the others. And yes, the guys that Loggains brings in are going to be the guys that he is most invested in seeing be QB1. I’m sure that the guy that stands out in fall camp will be the one that will get the nod. There is no point in discussing this with you because just like your brother, you aren’t interested in any opinion that doesn’t sound like yours. Have a great evening.

Whoever gives us the best chance of winning in the eyes of the HC will the starter.

Kohl looked the best in the spring game itself. Not sure what you saw. Gillon looked very good but I would still give the nod to Kohl.

Just like my brother? Not sure what that means and I believe you may have me mistaken. Let’s not make things personal for no reason and keep things civil please. Hope you have a great evening as well!

I have no idea what our final record will be at this moment. Too many variables at this point.

Here is best I can say. I do believe we have a significant upgrade with our coaching staff. We may have equal talent. Question is can staff get them dialed in quick enough. My bet is we get better as the year progresses but I don’t know how good we will be out of the gate. That will determine our ceiling.

I was fearful of 4-8 or 5-7 if we did not make a change but I have no clue what to expect with so much turnover. I don't think we go 5-7 either but I have no expectation. I am not sitting here feeling like we have to hit a certain number of wins or it is a failure. I am completely open this year.

Goals:

- improve as the season progresses
- develop game plans which include not spotting the opponent 7 or 14 points every game
- adapt to play to our strengths versus stubborn play calling

We do that wins will come in back 2/3rds of the season.

Agreed. I think this will be an interesting and exciting year. New faces, new optimism. Im just going to take it all in, support the team and hope for the best. I have absolutely no explanation as to why I think we will do better than 5-7 other than D-Lo is all about setting a standard and delivering on it. Ill believe he can until he doesn't.

Same here. I have a guess of how many games we win but I don’t have an expectation. I won’t be disappointed unless we look bad weekly and do way worse than last year. There is a lot of turnover in the league overall so anything can happen.

I just don't have expectations for success this year and not sure going forward with the money grab that is now college football. Changes had to be made and they were, so there is a glimmer of hope, but I just can't get on board YET to our new coach being the answer, but I hope he is. The ranking of worst offensive coordinator in the NFL still sticks in the back of my head. Hope he is THE man though! https://247sports.com/nfl/chicago-bears ... 110539571/

Guess we'll find out if the "worst" NFL OC is better than most G5 DCs.

The lease will be shorter this round, but expectations are justifiably lower this season than probably any season since year two or three of FBS.

Some will be consistent in their criticism, some will be faster to judge, some slower. All three will be evident.
