;_; Bowling Green.

What's everyone's feeling there? Do they acknowledge that the roster is crap and Jinks is doing a full rebuilding job, or are they blaming the new staff for the team's failings?

It's a combination of roughly 3 things:

1: Not only are Mike Jinks and the boys a totally new staff, Mike's only 2 years removed from high school, and pretty much everyone else was a GA or Quality Control guy beforehand, so they're all still catching up to the speed of coaching the college game. They're largely trying to keep the same up-tempo offense going though, no major system changes. Still, that's not easy to do.

2: Between our QB, 2 top receivers, and top RB all either graduating, declaring for the draft, or grad transferring to Bama, that represented literally 72% of last year's offense. That's all but impossible to completely replace in one year, even if we didn't have coaching turnover.

3: It's become very clear that Dino Babers really didn't recruit much at all. His 2 years of wrecking poo poo were largely with Dave Clawson's recruits.

Basically the blame hasn't really been laid at Jinks' feet, which is good. He actually managed to pull some pretty solid recruits out of Texas on short notice, and when the very first game of your head coaching career is against a stupidly powerful Ohio State, it's clearly going to be a long year. What's tough for Jinks is we knew this was something of a roll of the dice to hire a guy with no coordination or college HC experience, and the Athletic Director that hired him left the school just a few months later.

Ultimately I think Jinks will work out, but it's tough to watch a team go from conference champion to brutal rebuild so quickly. Bad as it was to lose to Eastern (a vastly improved Eastern, to be fair), things seem to be stabilizing on the team. We started a freshman kid out of Green Bay at QB and he seems to sling it around pretty well. Defense is still a mess. Special teams.... hoo boy. We can't kick for poo poo, but Davidson is probably going to be an NFL punter at this rate. Kid is spectacular. That height and weight is not an exaggeration, he's enormous.

Yeah I think Jinks will turn out just fine. He's still getting up to speed but seems to have a good mind for the game, and at the time of his hire, all indications were that BG found a diamond in the rough with him.

Western's problem (which, to be fair, isn't really their fault) is literally nothing matters for them until the last game of the year, and likely nobody's going to watch that because it's on Black Friday. Their only opponent that doesn't completely blow rear end was Northwestern, and the MAC has been trash this year outside of Western and Toledo.

Since when do people not watch Black Friday games? Isn't that when all of the major rivalry games are on?


edit: ooooo, now I see what you're saying. never mind :shobon:

hahaha there ya go :cheers:

I love the MAC but the black friday games are just a mess and the problem is that's the only chance on that weekend they're going to get TV of any kind. Plus nobody's on campus (and the weather is likely going to suck) so even for a game like UT/WMU, odds are the crowd is going to be pretty sparse.
