Who are you and what have you done with MOW I have a bad cold and will, no doubt, recover. LOL If we knew all it took was a cold to get a little positivity from you we would have sent our sick to you years ago on a weekly basis. All joking aside hoping for a swift recovery and glad even through the sickness you could share in the excitement for our future

I didn’t know much about him until yesterday but he’s very impressive and very confident in his ability to awaken this fan base and fill Snapdragon Stadium. He mentioned selling tickets a few times and playing fast. Not just the offense but all three phases playing fast. He mentioned Air Coryell and our past defensive prowess and paid tribute to it all. Who knows what will happen once the games start but if the pace of those games is anything like the speed that he speaks than get ready for some wild games.

Nothing really matters except what happens on the field, and that can't be evaluated until this time next year. In the meanwhile, let's hope Lewis can step up to his new HC position quickly and effectively. He will need support, and he deserves that much over the next 12 months. ICYMI - Hoke managed to drop this program into a huge crater. It will undoubtedly take several seasons to climb out of this mess before they ever see the light of first place again.

In my estimation I don't think the players that Hoke left are that bad. Let's see how they do when/if they get coached up. As a reminder, many came here because of the opening of Snap Dragon.

An understatement: I'm relieved. Lewis brings pressure-cooker energy to the program. He's young, yet very poised. Answers directly and quickly. great spontenaity. He'll be a suberb recruiter, I think. I'm impressed by the school's expedited search and "sezure" for and of a new HC. I did NOT think they would be as agressive or keen on the pick. This was a winer all the way around. They did move quickly which surprised me. Wicker had a list halfway through the season. Lewis' fallout with Sanders was well known so JD could have had his eye on him for a long time.

They just reported that Sean Lewis has a salary pool of over $3.7M for his assistants. Which I believe is tops in the MW.

Hopefully if we start seeing more fans at the stadium that will increase. JD is making a big commitment to the football program and have to think he must have some money to imrpove the FB practice facility.

To me, the most crucial step will be to rebuild the talent that we have lost since Rocky left.
It wasn't too long ago we were sending a couple of dudes a year to the NFL.
Yes, Rocky’s offense was bland, but we were so talented teams couldn't stop us.
I admit the game has changed, and we will run a much different style of play, but the priority must be to address the talent gap.

It's not really the talent gap, it's the evaluation and development that needs to improve, all these G5 programs are basically recruiting the same guys. This whole recruiting process is about evaluating, developing and getting the most out of these recruits, just look at the failure rate across the board. Look back over this programs last 7-8 years and look at the miss rate on their top tier recruits that came into this program, not a good look. This ALL starts with the coaching staff AND the Strength and Conditioning staff working together.

Apples and oranges. The staff makes $1.2M? Was the staff budget included in last season's $2.5M? Lewis is getting $1.753M year one with $100K more with each subsequent year. Realignment could change that but the article doesn't say whether that would mean a jump to the P4 or into the P2. Gotta think its the former.

I'm actually struggling to tamp down my "stupid" positivity, lest I be tossed into a "camp" for Panglossians.

I'd say it's definitely not MOW, but there is a word I've never seen before. I guess it's him after all (Panglossians?).
