Somebody explain to me what happened. The score was 14-7 at halftime.
Are we making any adjustments when we go in the lockerroom or do they just click on a TV set and have everybody watch few minutes of the Parkers before they return to the field?

Del State is just better up front and Lavan decided to ram it down our throats. We turned the ball over early in the game when we got into the redzone. You simply can't do that against good teams.
But we did run the ball better than we have all year with Ferguson going over a 100 yards and put together a good looking 99 yard drive for score in the fourth.
Its a still another loss but it was a lot better performance than last week.

We couldn't stop the DSU play where their QB would keep the ball after a couple of fakes. They scored a couple of times using the play and got several big gains out of it.
D.Adams was yelling at the defense but it didn't do any good. We need to get some more defensive coaches because D.Adams was the only coach I saw with the defense on the sideline. I'm beginning to wonder if some of the defensive players are losing confidence. Several of them seemed to not pay much attention when the coach was trying to give them instruction.
How can you have an effective defensive philosophy when you don't have enough coaches to teach it?
BTW - Our offense is coming along. W.Campbell is going to be fine.

What about the thought of keeping Adams as defensive coordinator and bring in another one or two position coaches. Maybe just give him a nominal pay raise and with the money you still have left over from Lavinge's salary, bring in a new D-line coach (preferably a veteran with NC high school connections) and a new linebacker coach.

Professionally, i like Adams as the D-Coord. First, it gives continuity on the defensive unit and the players will not see the third or fourth change of coaches in the last three years. Secondly, he seems to command the respect of his players and they seem to want to play for him. Right now, he does not have all the "tools" in the box to make a difference now but may soon have them. That can be alleviated with recruiting and playing the right players. I say surround him with some veteran defensive coaches and see what he can do for a couple of years. Adams has the formula but not the players right now.....

Nope. Go get Terrell Williams, our former def. line coach. That's the dude that recruited Herb Dixon, from what I'm told.

Right now the defense is what it is, BAD. The next step of improvement offensively is to score more than 7 points in the FIRST HALF. If we score more than seven in the 1st half, we'll win the game.

I don't know whether D.Adams is a good coach or not because he's been forced into being the DC along with helping coach the entire defense. We know Fobbs hired him to coach the DL. Right now we don't know if he's good at being a DL coach or DC because he is spread to thin.
I think whoever is the permanent DC should be allowed to pick their own position coaches. A successful track record is a must for all.

This is what Adams' defense did last year. If we plan to be successful we need to start hiring and promoting people based on what they've shown they can do and quit "giving people a chance."
Since nobody decided to chase after Jackson State's ex-coach, who was available and was clearly one of the top defensive coaches in the nation we might should go up to Central with a wad of cash and our tails between our legs and beg Darren Hart to come back to coordinate the defense and coach the dbs. The one part of the team that remained strong from the time he came here to the time he left was the dbs. As soon as he left the pass defense went through the floor. Those are what you call results and until we start hiring some folks that get results we'll continue to suffer.
p.s. To me it's much better to do better in the third quarter than any of the other quarters. It shows you can make halftime adjustments. What about the fourth quarter? Well, statistically the fourth quarter was our best quarter in this game. That's because the game was clearly out of reach.
