Can't wait to see the new product on the field! Really think we hit a home run with the hire. He's just seems ready for the job right now. He talks about evaluating the most minor details and I like that.

He's passed my "eye test" everywhere so far (recruiting, pressers, community, philosophy, etc)...only one place left to impress and that is in the game! Go Bearcats!
Agreed. I think CLF is at a place where he can have success. Young, fiery coaches have had success here, obviously. Think the defense will be much improved and the offense will follow. The talent is there.

It doesn't matter that the talent is there, the talent that is there has to be better than the talent on the other side of the field. Case in point, tonight our talent will be better, but next week the story may be different.

This early in CLF's career I am more interested to see how prepared we are as a team as opposed to how much talent is on the field. How many dumb mistakes do we have? How are game situations managed? Are the players executing their assignments? Are we missing tackles? Are we blocking down field? Will we give up if we get down too many points? Etc.

Hopefully the talent gap will continue to close with more recruiting classes like this past year. We don't necessarily have to have BETTER talent than blue blood programs to win if we play disciplined, inspired, and as a team.

We should kill AP. They have lost 27 in a row and are 1-45 in their last 4 seasons....ouch. Anything less than a 42 point W might actually be disappointing.
