It's kind of funny that because we're down again, all the nay-sayers and haters are jumping out and saying "I told you so!" and "remember when this was said!" and "fire them all!" and "the WCO will never work!". But most of the same people will be the FIRST ONES to jump on the bandwagon and cheer and smile when we're winning 9 and 10 games again in a few years. Don't deny it, you'll be back.
I will say it again, just because you are not happy with the sate of the program or have doubts, does not mean you are not a fan. I am definately not happy with the state the program is in and have doubts in the direction it is heading. Yes, I AM STILL A FAN! This is not a black or white issue! Of course people would be happier with 9 or 10 win seasons, DUH! Many speek out of emotion, many truly see this staff not getting the team back to national prominance, and many think that BC and SP should be held accountable for the words speek. DIFFERENCES IN OPINION, DOES NOT MAKE SOMEONE NOT A FAN!!!!!
Who cares what was said in the past?
WOW!!!! I would really rethink this. You mean SP and BC could say and promise anything and it wouldn't matter?
Why do the pessimists always have to blame NU for being so bad instead of giving credit to the opposition?
IMO, the teams we have played have had some good players (I would not dispute this), but they have all been winnable games. Knowing this, it casts doubt on BC's ability to prepare the team and his schemes. Why in the last 3 games, has NU had to try to come back from such large deficits? Questions like this come to mind.
Take a moment to look at what the future holds. Look at how good our LB's are gonna be w/Steve Octavien back next year and Dillard, McKeon and Ruud a year older. Our CB's a year of experience and another 5* prospect on the way to help. Our rush ends returning w/much of our interior DL as well. On offense, a QB returning, a highly touted RS Frosh waiting in the wings, experience for our great young RB's and definite upgrades to the OL, WR and TE.
From a player and talent standpoint, things are looking up, but it is how that talent is coached and used that many are questioning.
But most of the same people will be the FIRST ONES to jump on the bandwagon and cheer and smile when we're winning 9 and 10 games again in a few years. Don't deny it, you'll be back.
A positive veiwpoint is wonderful, but it doesn't mean it is always the correct viewpoint. What if in 3 years, NU is still 5-6 0r 6-5, even with all of the talent coming in? Since we're playing the "look to the future card". Isn't it reasonable to say that those who posted concerns now, were justified (I am not talking about idiots that call SP or BC aholes). Those who think more should be being done than just thinking positive and looking to the future, while many are somewhat extreme, IMO their oppinions are just as justified as yours. Someone will be wrong, but neither you nor I knows who that will be.
