We lost to a Div. 1AA Team

[Big Zip]

I've read many of your posts and appreciate all the thought and passion people have posted on this board in the last two days. The point that seems to be being glossed over from yesterday is Gardner Webb is a Div. 1AA team they beat us. I was screaming for JD's head the last two years, but I witnessed a JD lead team demolish Morgan State last year. Say what you want about talent and JD, but his team (with virtually the same talent) crushed another Div. 1AA team. You can give ICoach a pass on this and blame everyone else for the loss, but IMHO the loss goes squarely on the shoulders of a guy who is learning on the job after learning from a complete failure boss for the last four years at Notre Dame. Is it any wonder his team is horrible. The last four years he walked into someone's living room told them I work for Charlie Weiss (Super Bowl winning coach) and I am from Notre Dame the only school in the country with their own individual TV contract -- you should come play for us. Recruits came from everywhere and every level of talent. It had nothing to do with ICoach. He is not at Akron where that sales pitch isn't going to work and he is using the knowledge and experience gained working for a losing program to make ours worse.

There is (as he said) absolutely no excuse for yesterday's loss, but as someone else put it and noted in a previous post this guy told his players this game wasn't important and guess what they treated it that way.

ICoach is pathetic. He roams the sidelines with poor posture looking defeated from the word go. He shows little to no enthusiasm. We were driving to win the game yesterday and he stood 25 yards behind the line of scrimmage while some of his assistants were getting excited showing enthusiasm for the kids on the field. He seems apathetic at best. At the end of the game he walked off the field and away from his players by himself...instead of saying anything to any of them. He stopped to kiss the ring of AD Tom and shake his hand and hug him. He must have been thanking him for the $2 million he didn't deserve.

I asked in another post and I'll ask again. AD Tom -- ICoach quit feeding me bullshit and give me one good reason to believe you know what the hell you are doing because I think you are incompetent.

One final note why is there not a call in show after the game. The post game show on 1350 is pointless. I can read the stats online and I don't care to hear crappy highlights again. My wife even asked me -- what are you listening to them read you numbers for...I have to say....I'm not sure.

We didn't just lose to a 1-AA team... we lost to a mediocre 1-AA team. We lost to a 1-AA team that a lot of top D2 teams could beat on a good day.

In a good year, playing the likes of Stony Brook and Coastal Carolina, GWU goes 6-5. They are not a quality football team even in their own division. This was the worst loss the Zips have taken since I've been a fan, and that's going on 25 years...

The one that comes close in my mind is the Delaware St debacle of 1987.
