We are going to get smashed in the CAA for at least our first 3 years in that league. In all sports. Across the board & it's already happening.
We've got to do a better job of convincing in-state talent to "stay home" & receive a quality education and play good ball here.
But, I realize that there are some black parents who still believe pwi ice is colder & prettier & white parents who'd rather see Seth or Amy go to a pwi and sit for 3, maybe 4 seasons as opposed to coming here & contributing right away. But we have to try.
We could build powerhouse programs across the board by recruiting kids along I-40, I-85, I-95, US 29 & US 70, but we go to Diggyville Georgia, Stratford on the Bottom England, Coldashell Minnesota, & Duckpin Ohio to sign 1 & 2 star kids who are the same kids at NC high schools we won't look at.
I don't get it.
It's about to get ugly 'round here & y'all know it.[/quote]
This is by far the wisest most thoughtful writing I've read on this Board in quite some time. We are going to get killed in the CAA for maybe lo ger than 3 years. We'll be at the bottom of the CAA rankings with Hampton. Do I think we should jump to the CAA? Sure, why not. But we are not preparing. In my opinion, success starts with the athletic administration, then the coaching staff: Athletic Director, then the coaching staff starting with the head coach, then his or he's Coordinators, and so forth. Our head coach is a good man, but I question his ability to lead with authority! "Tell your players to stop the stupid penalties or lose their scholarship, and MEAN IT! Tell your coordinators to step up or find work somewhere else, and mean it!!

I watched the game and we couldn't run! On most first downs we handed off to Tuten and he's tackled 3 yards in the backfield. So now it's second and 13! Fellows, we didn't run the ball more because our offensive line was getting beat on every play. I've never seen an A&T offensive line being beat on nearly every play! I was stunned! I'm not that upset that we lost, we played a better team. I'm upset by how we lost. The OC calls dumb plays. I quite often guess what play he's going to call before he calls it, and so do other well coached teams. We still rarely use our TEs with passes across the middle, as has been discussed all year. And, Coach Washington just stand there with the ship sinking. Self preservation should dictate Washington intervening, and right the ship.

Should A&T have extended Coaches contract 3 years?? It seems we've done that a lot which questions the wisdom of our administration. It's not that we lost today, it's how we lost. We definitely need to change our Offensive Coordinator!!

Unless we find some heart , this is over. We didn't want it Yes, and we don't deserve a playoff birth! Our defense has thrown in the towel!!

It would be of great benefit to us if we threw 5 to 10 yard passes to our running backs and TEs. Every pass doesn't have to be 20 or 30 yards down field!!

Anyone watching that Jack State/Campbell game? Campbell is going to be trouble. Our O line and D line must play much better than they did today!!

Yeah. I'm now Watchung Campbell and Jackson State. Campbell looks tough. It's J-S's Homecoming (60,000 fans) and Campbell will play us for our Homecoming next week. They may give us some trouble if our line doesn't play better than they did today.

Did the B&GMM not show up at all tonight?? (…or just not on the field??) Was it just me who felt our linemen were tired or not motivated? Something is wrong! Selfish.

In any leadership situation, when things get this out of hand it usually will not return to sanity. This group has seen it permeate for 3+ years. It's part of the culture now. The only thing that changes it is new leadership. All Washington will be able to do is put guard rails around it and hope it doesn't lose games for us. I just can't get over giving a guy a pat on the butt for getting kicked out of the game. That speaks volumes. That implies he's blaming the referees. These were Big South refs so we will see them again. I'm trying to understand how ANYBODY on here KNOWS what Coach Wash and the player said AND KNOW that he gave the player a pat on the butt FOR getting kicked out of the game. Talk about making up things with incomplete info. #Smh A&T-Roy...SHAME ON YOU!!
