I GUARANTEE I could have prepared the team and made better decisions than he did last night and I only coached 14-year olds. The teams were very evenly matched. He knew from last year all they would do is run up the middle with the big guy and throw the bomb. My conclusion is he is afraid. He is afraid to make bold choices. Why were his last 8 or 9 plays running plays? Why doesn't he actively talk to the players during the game? He's just not a good coach (yet) and I don't know it he will ever be. I'm pissed and usually don't get this way. I looked at Fobbs' face last night and he looked like a man that had exhausted all he knew to do in the second half. He had no fire and didn't look like he had a clue.
Dooms, I just remember the year we rode to Delaware State and saw Small standing on the sideline like a knot on a log. Doing nothing, saying nothing. I remember turning around looking at the coaches in the booth doing nothing, saying nothing. I remember that feeling. I'm getting it again.

www.sidneylanier.org/index.php?id=117,197,0,0,1,0 Football Team Shows Class October 30, 2006 MEDIA WATCH: Lanier players, coaches display touch of class By Mike Tankersley Montgomery Advertiser You may remember newspaper and broadcast accounts last year detailing the bad blood between the Sidney Lanier and Prattville football teams. There was a big fight at last season's game at Prattville, and there were some serious charges thrown back and forth afterward. It got pretty ugly. Here's a different side to the story. I learned this from an e-mail that was forwarded to me, but Prattville assistant coach Tommy Goodson confirmed to me on Friday that this actually occurred. There was a visitation for Pfc. Stephen Bicknell at Prattville High School on Thursday night. Bicknell, a Prattville native and former Lions football player, was killed in Iraq on October. 15, 2006. His funeral was Friday (October 27). At Thursday's visitation, first-year Lanier coach L.C. Cole and his players and coaches showed up to pay their respects. Dressed in their blue warmup jerseys, they went through the line and shook hands with the Bicknell family. They presented Bicknell's widow, Miranda, with a football signed by the Lanier players. Before they left, the players took a knee in front of Bicknell's casket and prayed. There wasn't a dry eye in the place. Coach Paul "Bear" Bryant once said, "It don't cost nuthin' to be nice. It don't cost nuthin' to do the right thing most of the time . . . and the rewards can be unimaginable." That was a very nice gesture by Coach Cole and his players. And it certainly was the right thing to do.

FAMU new quarterback is all of 5'6", 170 lbs. If FAMU continue to win with this QB, I don't want to hear any more excuses about the players being the foremost reason for A&T's 0-21 losing streak.
Rattlers rally behind Camel By St. Clair Murraine DEMOCRAT STAFF WRITER
As surprising as the departure of Albert Chester II was as quarterback of FAMU's football team earlier this week, the move doesn't seem to have affected the Rattlers offense. After spending the last hour of Thursday's practice watching film following a downpour, the players emerged pumped full of enthusiasm.
Coach Rubin Carter said the offense is ready to complete the season with senior walk-on Leon Camel under center. Eddie Battle will be the backup, Carter said.
ADVERTISEMENT “Everybody wants to rally behind (Camel); just give him that confidence that he needs to win,” said senior wide receiver Willie Hayward, who walked on with Camel four years ago. “It (Chester's departure) wasn't disruptive, but we had to adjust real quickly and be focused for the upcoming game.”
FAMU plays Winston-Salem State in the Circle City Classic in Indianapolis. Chester said Tuesday that he wouldn't continue to quarterback the team because of multiple injuries.
That opened the door for Camel, who became Chester's backup last season. He started the Miami game.
Camel has completed 9 of 23 passes for 115 yards in two games this season. He scored one touchdown, which came last weekend when he came on in the third quarter to lead FAMU to an 18-17 win.
“The offense is basically in for the game,” he said. “I feel real good about playing. I'm not nervous or anything. It's football. I've been doing it for a while. I'm ready to get in and have some fun.”
FAMU vs. Winston-Salem St., 4 p.m. on NFL Network, WHBX (96.1 FM).

Norfolk State proved what good coaching will get you. Of course Norfolk State's top coaches were Alvin Wyatt's top coaches at Buthune Cookman. BCU seems to be free falling ever since. Coach Pete Adrian, then BCC Def Coordinator, took over Norfolk State and brought three other BCU coaches with him. Now these two programs have crosses axises with NSU going up and BCU going down.
Adrian took over the a program that had won just two games in the previous two years, one each year. I think NSU even lost to Savannah State the year before Adrian got there. NSU didn't even have what you would call a weight room. It was a musty 1950 type of gym room that they never show their recruits when they visited. Adrian said "I am not complaining. You work with what you have" and he painted the weight room.
In his third season his team is 3-0 with a win against his nemesis, Wyatt and his BCU Wildcats and strong SC State.

Except against us, NSU's been more lucky than good.
BCU's free-fall also coincides with a budget cut and Wyatt doing too much (he's head coaching and coordinating).

Dooms, when most programs begin winning after years of losing there is a lot of luck involved because they scrapping and clawing while trying to find a way to win. Once you win a few you then try to perfect the process. NSU is not yet there in perfecting a winning process and may never perfect it. There are only about 10 1AA (FCS) teams that have gotten it down 'pat'. You see them, just about the same teams every year in the top ten.

I'm not downing NSU (although it reads like I am). I'm just saying they're really still not good. They will be. Us? Don't know.

I think we'll be fine...
...so long as people think we are in big trouble. I'm troubled by the number of people who think we'll be fine. If you think we're gonna be fine then you are the reason we will continue to be in big trouble.
When we decide to take our current status seriously is when we will see improvement. Not a day before.

the only way for nsu to get better is administration is going to have to find or raise $$$$ for the program without killing the other athletic programs.... adrian has shown what he can do with little... if they think that things will continue to get better without feeding the beast.... they will be back to losing before you know it....

Not only does the administration need to get involved But also our alumns who complain and don't give any money to help the program. The top team in our conference has about $3 to 4 mil more than we do in our programs. You can't make chicken salad out of chicken s---.
