Man, I'm still optimistic about the future. What coach doesn't have problems in their first season?
Kirk Ferentz: 1-10
Greg Schiano (rutgers) 2-9
Bill Snyder: 1-10
Barry Alvarez: 1-10
Joe Paterno: 5-5
Dan Hawkins (Colorado) 2-10
Pete Carroll: 6-6 (2-5 in the first seven games)
Not saying that Chizik will be legendary. Just saying, give the man a chance.
Last night clearly showed Chizik is not a miracle worker, but that's about all it showed. It would help if his senior quarterback didn't throw to the other team from time to time.
Mack Brown 1-10 North Carolina
Thank you for some positive reinforcement here. It was one game, ONE! This is the process that has to be, and Kent State is better than what people think. When we stop them and cant score, they desearve to win.Quote:

It will take a few years to get the right guys in the system and develop them. THEN we will see the bigger recruits come our way--until then we are going to have to develop our own talent and build this from the ground up.
I will add these coaches to your list:Quote:

Wow, that's depressing.Quote:

Maybe. Maybe not. I think as long as fans see steady progress throughout the next few years, they'll hang on for the ride (even those on the bandwagon). Pollard's crafty enough to put fans in the seats, even with a rebuilding project on the field. So maybe we go 3-9 this year, 5-7 next year, and then make a big leap when Chizik's recruits have developed in his system.Quote:

I'm glad somebody posted this!!! Open your eyes people. Success doesn't come overnight. Quit being selfish & give Chizik his due time to give it his best effort. We gave Dmac 12 years! You can at least give Chizik more than 1 game!Quote:
