add the thought that the UNLV OC applied for the SDSU HC but Lewis was chosen
and for those who thought that it was not Lewis's fault for the Colorado offense look where Colorado is now and UNLV

Somehow Bronco Mendehall got New Mexico to compete for a bowl with 5 new OLinemen, a new QB1 and a new RB1. Yet, fans here wanna use that as a crutch for Lewis Now I can see why Dion fired Lewis in mid-season. |

The top choice was Texas St was GJ Kinne. Second was White if he could hire good offense coaches. |

Also mentioned that Boise just got a $25 million gift to the football program. |

I suppose we can't afford to fire him, but I anticipate this to be a very long 3 years before he's canned

The ticket prices aren't the biggest problem. That's one of the smaller problems. The biggest problem is the quality of play on the field, and the excitement level of our team, which you addressed first. In the Marshall Faulk and Billy Blanton eras attendance was really good! The team was fun and exciting to watch. The games were must-see events. It hasn't been that way since Rashaad Penny left, and in between the Blanton and Penny eras there was some bad football. Yes, most of the Hoke/Long era was successful, and much of it was exciting, the end of the Rocky Long era was a disaster, entertainment wise, and the last couple years of the 2nd Hoke era were just as bad. I can see why Lewis was hired. Try to recreate that excitement of the 90's. But, at this point, Lewis doesn't seem to be the guy that can get that done. Maybe he can, but if next year is like this year he has to go. Bite the bullet and pay out the $4 Million. We can't afford to have a bad team for another 2 or 3 years. We're losing the support of the people in this city. Well, we've lost it, but winning it back gets harder and harder each year the team isn't good and the games aren't fun and exciting. SDSU is going to be in big trouble with the MLS coming. Even if prices are the exact same as SDSU, the atmosphere is going to make SDSU games look like a local HS. 21 games each season, and they will build a big fan base and be a major competition to SDSU ticket Sales. Exactly!!! When MLS comes early next year, they will easily outdraw SDSU FB & kick "Sand" in their faces. They will still have to pay $40 to park though, lol. |

If Rocky in 2019 and Hoke in 2021 actually hire an average offensive staff. Especially the OC! SDSU would have actually known what it feels like to get to a big bowl game. |

I did a little research on Lewis and how disciplined his teams were at Kent St. I am not expecting much improvement next year.
Kent State
• 22-23 - 89th - 6.6 pens per game
• 21-22 - 118th - 7.7 pens per game
• 20-21 – 125th - 9.3 pens per game
• 19-20 – 65th - 6.1 pens per game
• 18-19 – 127th - 8.3 pens per game
SDSU
• 24-25 – 126th - 8.3 pens per game

So undisciplined, unintelligent football teams are his trademark? Got it. |

So undisciplined, unintelligent football teams are his trademark? Got it. What a wonderful legacy to have. This week's Utah State-SDSU game should be one of the top D1 games. Having the #119th ranked Aggies go after the #118th ranked Aztecs should really set some Neilson numbers. And even though we're ranked way ahead of Utah State, we're getting +4 points. Watch the stampede to the betting windows. |

He will be gone in 13 months. Lewis has said all the wrong things up to now. If he is not gone wicker will be packing his bags with him.
The Aztec Nation wants to know the timeline to winning.

The UNLV guy would have failed here too. We need an experience, knowledgeable coach, that has won somewhere else. Someone that can walk into the locker room and demand immediate attention and is good with the media. Its most likely someone with a sketchy background. Urban Myer type of person. |

I know he isn't going to be let go. But this hire is a miss. I was excited when he was hired, but I can admit I was wrong. The team is getting worse. "But he needs his own players" what players? He is probably going to lose two to three more in this class, our NIL is dismal and will get worse after squandering the excitement that comes with a new hire. If we had an exciting offense (like he promised), but struggled, there would be some hope, but instead we are infuriating boring and conservative. We are not getting players. We have no o-line. I would say it was decimated but that would be a massive understatement. Decimate means losing one out of ten and we have lost 60% of our starters and when some have played, they have played injured. Any of you see the graphic early in the game about departures (all to P4 teams) and injuries. When Williams came out, did you see the tape job on his foot and ankle. He may as well have been in a boot. We gave up two sacks and seven tackles for loss and God knows how many QB pressures or times Cooper was hit before reaching the LOS and still turned it into a gain. People complaining about running him up the middle which seems to mean inside the tackles, well when we tried running outside we lost yardage. On defense we gave up 515 yards and, once again, over 200 yards rushing. We knew coming in the d-line was a question. If you cannot win the LOS you are going to lose. We have 5 signed freshmen for the o-line coming in and I expect we will hit the portal hard at that position this season. Bronco Mendehall had 0 OLine starters return with a new QB1 and new RB1 How'd his rushing attack go? |

I just hope that next year we all never want to see this thread because we were wrong to judge Lewis this early. Im not saying that will happen but I hope that is what happens.

The way I see it that's good for the nPAC Yes, I agree it's good for the nascent Pac-12; but it highlights the huge disparity between school administrators who really push football, versus our anemic efforts. |
