Generally, most of our fans are currently on suicide watch, so not sure we perceive the Cougs as a overpowering team.  That said, I do think that many fans blamed the late game (particularly the last 3) issues on our departed OC, now RB coach is also gone, and our backup O play caller followed our OC, we will be down 4 coaches so far (DC was fired and rightfully so).  Our HC will be the DC, but no clue what the O will look like.

Two good receivers hit the portal, and a couple secondary pieces, but so far, no real high impact portal losses. The starting RB we lost to the portal was a talented freshman, but struggled with pass plays, and seemed to get dinged up a lot.  We at least have depth there and WR.   If Mateer stays that will help, especially if he is let off the leash a bit.  He has accounted for 44 TD's this year to lead all of FBS.

Our DL is not great in the old scheme, but not sure what the HC will do other that he states he is going to "unleash" them.  Secondary is opportunistic, LB has been not great.  While we have lost 4 games, we did have a couple decent wins again Texas Tech and UW, other than that we hated our schedule, and lost bad late to Boise on the road.  Overall, we have quick strike ability, but little answer to ball control running teams.
