STOP HIDING BEHIND THAT

Holy Hell, it is not a clean slate. It's not. Last season happened. Lester was handed the job. It went horribly. That happened. We played games and failed to perform. IT HAPPENED. It's not all injuries and mid-season changes.

I would give Lester more slack had we conducted an OC search and he won the job because he as the best choice. But it didn't go that way.

Look, the burden is not on us fans that are tired of seeing stuffty offense out of our program year after year when we can see real examples happening right now of similar schools with similar talent achieving things that sound ridiculous to us because of how low our offense is. The burden is on the coaches to make it a lot better, and not bottom-of-the-barrel to mediocre. To make it good. That comes with the territory after 15 years of crap. Not benefit of the doubt.

And this isn't just me. That's a huge part of the reason why we struggle to draw at the gate. It's not BS, it's reality.

Again, there are real things to celebrate with this program - recruiting, the 3.0 club, some of the talent currently on the roster, etc. But with how bad our offense has been for how long, yes, the truth is, we're talking about guilty until proven innocent. Lester's a grown up and paid well. He can handle the reality that it's on him to win over fans.

They're going to have the chance to prove it on the field. They have to do that.
