At the end of the day, it largely comes down to talent. The Zips are at the bottom of the MAC because their talent is at the bottom of the MAC. Acquisition of talent is a responsibility of the coaching staff in recruiting, but it's not like some coach could drop onto the sideline right now and suddenly change this squad into a winning team.
Last year, they were left with nothing. This year, we'd better start seeing an improvement in the talent level. Hopefully, they are past whatever dents the Covid and preseason scrimmage put in the lineup and we can start seeing any improvement soon.
