I have a question do you think the 2017 or 18 team could have won the CAA title this year or beat GW team Saturday

It's cute how we talk about past performance against certain teams as a predictor of future success. Just because we beat Elon in the past doesn't mean they're the same team. See Hampton as exhibit A. Generally pwc teams are not going to stand pat and let an hbcu beat them but so many times before they take measures to make sure it doesn't happen again. And they have the means to do so. See GW as exhibit B. All the things listed as wants in this thread would be provided without a coach or AD even having to ask if the administration is behind their head coach and he doesn't already have all those things. Let them lose to an hbcu and they're either getting the ax or getting an increase. With the hbcu additions to the CAA you can expect the arms race to increase exponentially any time either one of us starts to creep into that 6-5 range. If the BS was halfway stable and we stayed and Hampton stayed you better believe it would've been a matter of time before the whole conference made sure we were at the bottom. If the administration lacks confidence in the coach's ability, they'll jettison him like Towson did today. Not the best example. The guy was there for 12 years. It's a great example if you understood my point on adding it in. He hasn't lost to an hbcu in eons. They ain't fire him for that. I added it in so you clowns would stop referring to it at TowNson lol. As I noted in prior threads, in the CAA they keep cats around forever. He's just one example. I was honestly surprised they fired him considering he got them to the national championship game some years back and he's an alum. But they obviously have plans to upgrade given the knowledge if they win two more conference games they're in the playoffs. Best believe the replace will have everything on the list posted to start this thread and then some, and there will be no problems.

And they have the means to do so. See GW as exhibit B. I agree partly with the "not going to stand back and let...." part. They will pour in more money and fire coaches that cant get it done, but has nothing to do with us as long as we handle business. This was not anywhere close to our best team that we just fielded. Not even in the top 25 all time. It aint in the top 10 since I been watching Aggie football. Our better years could easily handle that schedule above and get 7 or 8 wins. That's all I'm saying. Based on some of the comments, we'll never have a 2015 - 2019 talented team again and your only reason for saying it is because we are in the CAA. Your not saying it cause we cant get the talent or the coaching again. Your saying that the CAA teams will not allow it. That's weird thinking to me with nothing other than "we wont support it" as the main problem. The man has said we will support it, so whats really the issue? I guess its just that the posters saying that just dont believe it.

I'm not saying that. I'm saying that if we get to that point it will be about three seconds before the competition ups the ante. Look at Tennessee State. They had a two year run (aided by a little cheating) and haven't been heard from much since. Next time we see Elon I guarantee they gone have something for that a$$, and everybody will be trying to have the staff fired again because of the same arguments used about the GW game.
Also, our 2015-2019 teams ain't winning the CAA. If they're lucky they're 8-3. That has to be recognized.

Sometimes you need luck. I dont think once we get to CAA level competitiveness and then just fall to the bottom of the league forever like Tennessee State did. I can see Hampton never sniffing a league title, but I dont think A&T is cut from that type of cloth. We are the "pay Broadway whatever he wants" school. Our next head coach hire will speak volumes.

2017 was lucky and good. And TSU hasn't been at the bottom of the OVC forever. Just a lot more often than not lol. And the worst part is the OVC can't sniff the CAA's jock strap. We're a program with a much less-storied history going into a much tougher league at a time when costs are at an all-time high. While Tennessee State was playing against directional Kentucky and local area Tennessee sub-station, we're playing the University of insert smaller densely populated eastern state here and rich private southern school.
It's not impossible by any stretch of the imagination. But look at that list of needs for next season that is the topic of this thread. What CAA school has a list looking like that? It's laughable.

Hell yes and second round. Playing a tougher schedule prepares you down the stretch. Ask GW.

Are we just gonna side step the fact that Monmouth (9th at 3-5, 5-6) and Hampton (12th at 1-7), 4-7) were complete failures in the CAA this season. I guess it's a rebuilding year for them.
Does the CAA go to Two Divisions next season?

Does the CAA go to Two Divisions next season? The division format is a strong rumor but it's not 100 percent. I think they'll decide in the Spring and announce schedules before Spring Practice ends.

I believe we were told the CAA was gonna split in divisions or some format to make travel less than it would be otherwise. Not just strong rumor. I believe Hilton (or somebody) said it would be slightly more than our BS travel. We'll see what happens.

Ditto…I repeat if we were in the MEAC this season we would be were we are now, At home probably finishing in third place waiting to watch Central play in the CB. Howard had a strong team this year. Our problem is bigger than facilities. It’s mental, we play down to teams instead of destroying them. Campbell intent was to destroy our ego, you could feel their intensity. Fortunately we have good talent BS first team selections are evident of that, we played defense with good intensity. Our scheme was wrong wrong wrong. Smart Coaches will take a five yard gift every play because we give ten.,Our offense was predictable, will Fowler limited and looking down Leslie. I believe Brickhandler we elevate the offense next season, will there be a competitive playbook that’s tactical?
