Send Hunter some good questions please. He cares and wants to do a good job.
I might ask him about existing DL depth. Are there any guys currently on the roster who can step up and replace the departures.

Wouldnât be surprised to hear âwe interviewed a lot of people for DC but at the end of the day Marcus West is just the best fit for the jobâ.
Welp, Glenn Spencer took a job as WF LB coach instead of our DC position.
Either itâs West, money, or both, but thereâs a problem when someone would rather be a position coach at Wake than DC here.
Friend move with passive rebellion
I mentioned in another thread how the shine is falling off in layers from HillâŚitâs starting to come off in chunks off of Healy now too. With the debacle heâs endured from the 2nd half of the season collapse to the West friendship & hesitancy to fire/demote and now hiring ANY Defensive staff (where Iâve now heard up to 5 have declined the DC role).
3 yrs ago we had 3 extremely shined and buffed figures at the top of our AD and revenue sports in Hill, Sanchez & HealyâŚnow, they are in a contest to see which one can deteriorate into a pile of rust the quickest!!!
I thought we were ready to go bigtimeâŚbut now, what a cluster/sh!tshow this is turning intoâŚfrom basketball to football to AD all included!!!

Sanchez is the sin. I am worried about Healy, but convinced about Sanchez. I canât subscribe to bashing Healy as a bust and certainly cannot about Hill for Sanchez
I didnât meant to imply they were all âbusts.â
When Hill was hired and he subsequently hired Sanchez and HealyâŚit looked & felt like these 3 men were the saviors to our AD. These 3 men were going to turn everything around and take us to heights never seen before.
NowâŚall 3 seem to be nothing special at all.
Not busts per sayâŚjust very very meh.
The âshineâ is goneâŚand still going.

If Will fixes D and we go bowling next year then we are on track. If Mike releases MP and we have over $100 mil committed then we are on track. Both of those are still in the window of likely.
Ron on the other hand really feels like what he can do he has done and we are over due for his turnaround. Canât fault the hire, but similar to Will and West - when it becomes apparent it isnât working, you have to be able to cut bait. 4 years is enough for that. Last year I donât hold him responsible for the record, but I also wonât give him credit for the jump from last year to this. Needed to see him pick up from the 19/20 season.

I agree that your âifâsâ could change the narrative for Healy & HillâŚbut I Iâm not sure Iâd agree with calling both of your "if"s likely.
It could be slightly likely that Hill releases this grand plan with $100million committedâŚbut itâs been 2 years since it was originally leaked and even after the AAC courtshipâŚnot a peep.
And HealyâŚhow likely is it that he turns the Defense completely around in one season with no significant changes or additionsâŚand the cluster that has been created on the defensive side with West still involved and a staff he canât beg people to fill!!! Very tall task I am hopeful forâŚbut would say is unlikely.
Woodard is certainly the shining starâŚjust a shame Baseball isnât the revenue generator that Basketball & Football are.
He is to baseball what I thought/hoped Sanchez and Healy would be. Healyâs 1st year wasâŚand he has struggled since.
And I guess to be fairâŚWoodard has only done it for one year to this point. Letâs see where he is in years 3-4. But for nowâŚheâs certainly appears to be the exception that we need to be the norm.
Healy lost his last 3 games of 2021 and our Niners offense scored 34,28 and 32 in these games. We donât need the best defense, we just need a better defense

I think the MP is very likely. Yes it has been a few years since it was announced, but as I mentioned the AD was instructed to put it on ice when it wasnât clear what funding was going to look like at the early stages of the pandemic. I have no idea what direction AD is getting from both school and system admin but that could have something to do with it as well. I have heard good things on the funding front.
With Will, as mentioned he doesnât need to construct a top D, just a decent one. The offense typically scores enough and O is the calling card for the team. I think getting the D to a place where it gives up 14/20 is very doable. Hell just changing the scheme some might do that. Look at the turn around we had when Spencer came in. I still think money being paid is a bigger issue than Westâs pressence.
He actually lost 5 of his last 6 with the lone win being against Rice in overtime.
The average score in those 5 losses was 46-23. Double our scoreâŚon average.
AgainâŚwe were ranked 120 out of 130 in all of D1 Football defensively.
Our D needs a lot of work even to get us to where the offense can carry us. And to this pointâŚwe lost our best LB, have yet to see any real impact stud transfers/additionsâŚand no idea if there will be a scheme change because we canât get any coaches to come here.
Iâm hopefulâŚbut again, not sure Iâd call it likely.
clt bets the master plan is funded biglyâŚ
we were the 2nd school into the AAC, they saw the deets

For the old folks like me, those home runs were probably just a few feet from being âtoo highâ

One day this season, I think Big Maple could be the first ever to hit one that never comes down. It will be a satellite and weatherBrad will give us twitter updates on nights we will be able see the ball fly over in orbit
