A lot of good things in your post that I agree with, the quote above though is the exception. Tim Beckman didn't tell you to write this, did he!? This is a fan message board, so if someone has an opinion on something, they shouldn't need to present football credentials to do so! Same goes for those in the press; playing/coaching does not NEED to be a prerequisite to reporting and forming opinions. All I was getting at with my recent posts is that it's my opinion the better option would have been to hire Yelk and retain some of the existing assistants. I think that option would have made ALOT more sense on the recruiting trail without sacrificing much on the X&Os, team management end. The knock on Yelk and Co. were they weren't experienced enough. Well, this staff seems to be pretty green too.Leatherneck57 wrote:
When it's all said and done we need to take a look at the entire picture before we start evaluating the coaching staff that is being assembled by our NEW HC before he has it in place. I'm pretty sure it will be a good one...he's been in the business way too long to be judged this early especially by people that have never played or coached the game.
I'm done with voicing those concerns now though. That ship has sailed. Welcome Coach Fisher and all he brings on board! We've had a taste of success and we want more! Glad to hear the former Leathernecks are rallying around you, that support is invaluable. It truly is your program and its future success will need your support as well as the students, alumni, and regional community. Go 'Necks!!!
