Bottom barrel recruiting classes for half a decade and Gene's suppose to mold them into the '76 Steelers? Name one coach in the country that could've walked into our coaching vacancy and done any better than Gene?
    My thoughts exactly, good post.

    The discussion was about EIU fans that think football did not exist at ISU before an EIU alum brought it to us. Read the friggin' post!

    Not trying to be a jerk at all...although it is going to sound that way. No coach could have done worse either! Two losses and one to a 1-AA program. That is not good! Trust me, I am laying this in the hands of DMac like many others. But having blind faith in GC doesn't really make sense either! The guy has never been a head coach so their is no track record either way! This is a frustrating time for sure! We just need to get through it and hope GC sticks to what he believes and continues to build the program in the ways he has seen programs built! That is not going to make this season any easier to watch though!

    Fans have to have faith I guess...??? We have to have something!

    But what is even more frustrating is, something is not working and we just keep doing it. Throw the ball deep, take some risks, gamble a little bit, we are going to lose if you don't and maybe we make a play to change the momentum.

    I agree! Take a shot! Why not? We are not going out-talent or out-tough anyone this year! Get a little creative!
