Any thoughts trojangrad78?

My goodness, couldn’t they have waited one more week?

I wonder if this move even happens if the qb never gets hurt in the first round playoff game last season??

To make this move now makes me wonder what was so important that it couldn't wait until season's end???

I mean it is not like they will be looking for a coach this week, needed to get a head start??

TrojanGrad78 will have to give us some feedback on this situation.

These are my opinions.

OC: The vast majority of the complaining was about the play calling. Is was too predicable, inconsistent, and never seemed to be setting anything up. This was true of last's years team and this year's team. Last year's talent was enough to overcome those problems. The entire offensive problem could be summarized by revisiting the first round playoff game last year against Gaffney.

HC: Being relieved of the coaching duties involved a lot more than wins/losses. Let's just leave it at that.

As for the timing, most thought changes were coming at the end of the season.....not at this moment. However, let's just say that now was probably better for the team/program than waiting until the end of the year.

Now that the change has occurred, I think this change is going to affect the kids in a positive manner mentally and emotionally, and with the intangibles and team chemistry. Will they perform better at the x's and o's???? Maybe not......we shall see.

One thing is for certain, no matter how the w/l turns out, the rest of this season will have a different feel..........for the better, in my humble opinion.

Northwestern football collects itself after emotional weekend
