This program does not know how to win

[bamahawkeye]

It is really a shame to see KF losing this program. I am a big fan of his. And there were a lot of positives today. But it boils down to this team finding ways to lose games. And that starts with the head man. If I'm correct, KF is now 3-10 in the last 3+ years in games decided by 4 points or less. The psyche of this program is so fragile right now. The toughness, the aggressiveness of this program is gone. It's easy to say, 'this is one game, still a lot of season left.' And that is true. But it's hard to believe in this program right now. It's hard to believe in KF. You just can't keep losing to MAC teams and keep your job. It's that simple. I hope this club bounces back and silences people like me. But unfortunately, the faith is fading.

There wont be a bounce back. Its been obvious for a long time.

And was one of those 3 'wins' the dropped TD in the end-zone by Indiana? Any close games we win, we only survive. How many games have we actually seized victory from an apparent defeat?

Actually, that one isn't counted, it was 18-13. But point taken. I would agree.

It is heart breaking another close lose it seems like we always find a way to lose in tight games. Well the good news I'd atleast we got a verbal commit today with jake newborg

I've wondered about the psycology of the program. Is KF good at creating the winning attitude that sense of urgency. Hayden had to create that first a formost. I sense that KF probably had to do that at the begining and forgot about it. Just focus on execution.

Disband the football team. We will never be good again.

If he puts so much time and focus on execution how come we are always the team screwing up regardless of opponent?

It is a shame, and I'd even like to win games the way he wants to win them, but it just isn't working anymore. He hasn't recruited well enough to win the way he wants to win. Not to mention the facts that Doyle got rhabdo'd, the D-line is still feeling the effects of getting Kaz'd, and years and years of AIRBHG have led up to what we are seeing now.
