The coaches show tonight is going like the last game... not good. Since they moved the show to Rogers Bros the sound has gotten so much worse

I haven’t watched yet. Did Coach Bell say anything notable?

I am with FLCAT. Up until the game Saturday, most of this board and many other outlets thought WCU was on the verge of being a top-10 kind of team. We absolutely stunk the place up this weekend really in all aspects. Cole will probably not have another 4-INT game in his life. Our O-line is clearly much better than they showed as we have seen several of them play multiple seasons and we all saw them and the entire offense move the ball against NC State. Our defense gave up tons of yards in game 1 but still looked better than this past weekend.
Sometimes when a game and flow start going the wrong way it is very hard to turn that around. We very well may start this season 0-4 because of how tough the schedule is. Even if we do, that still doesn't change my thinking that if we can look anything like we did in game 1 we can still be competitive in really any game on the schedule. I know we are all down in the dumps, but we got a wake-up call that we didn't respond to on Saturday but let's see how the guys (and coaches) respond now.
Kerwin didn't forget how to coach, and we have tons of talent on the team that has to man-up and put the Campbell game behind us. Could be a blessing, but no doubt the guys now know they better show up and ball-out to compete. Just remember nobody feels any worse than the team about Saturday.
Elon will be a massive test, but I thought Cambpbell was going to be with all their athletes, too. The conference games are the most important, and there is plenty of issues going on at places like Furman, Samford, VMI, etc.
We lost, but the sky is not falling and we need to support our team. They can now go 10-2 or 0-12. But they are still our Cats.

Talk about amature night, it's almost useless to turn in to the coaches show. The coaches show has become an embarrassing display of totally not giving a S##t!! For all that is HOLY!!! Why doesn’t someone FIX the audio BEFORE the show begins??!! Just Do the show in the Ramsay Center and quit putting out content that recruits and their families can see but NOT hear. Stuff like this matters. SMH

I tried to watch the Coaches show but that was a mess but what I could here I'm worried about where we are right now.....I agree we have talent on this team but they aren't on the same page at all.....I don't agree that Campbell was that good but instead we were really that bad.....A team has 3 turnovers and 15 flags and you still can't beat them doesn't say alot for Campbell.....I really hope Cole can get his head back in the game and put this behind him.....In the Elon game start him but if he can't move the ball and is falling apart and having another bad first half he needs to sit....Someone mentioned us going 10-2 the rest of the season and I will bet my house that want happen.....This Elon game is HUGE and we really need to win.....By the way I don't like the coach at ETSU but quess what they might be the best team in the SoCon so far.....Furman isn't worth damn....Chattanooga and Mercer and will be tough.....We need to go into the Wofford game at least 1-3.....

I said we could go 10-2 or we could go 0-12 mainly meaning we just don’t know, and those are now the best and worst possibilities. Show up and play like we did against State and we will win a bunch of games. Show up and play like this last Saturday and we’ll be lucky to win anything. My guess is somewhere in between, but I need to see how we rebound (players and coaches).

The AGS board gives WCU no chance in this game. They expect a Elon blow out. The way I have heard people talking about WCU is how we were talked about under Speir. I hope Bell uses this as a show me game and fixes the offense and runs the score up on Elon. One question i have and it was not really discussed on the coaches show. Does Bell become more involved the in the play calling this week? Also i saw a breakdown on the AGS board of Bell without Kade on his staff and another with Kade on his staff and the winning % was noticeable. They were pointing out the fact that i made after the game and that it is Kade was our best recruiter and possibly the reason we were so good on offense. I know it is Kerwin's offense but unless the new OC really does not know how to call plays maybe Kerwin's offense is not as explosive as we once thought

Kerwin recruited, coached, and trained Kade. I think the recruiting part will have to play out but this season we still have plenty of kids Kade helped recruit to WCU. A few seasons from now it may be a big difference, but this season of course we miss Dez Reid and Sincere but we still have a ton of FCS-level talent.
And please don’t go all-in on what FUBeAR posts. He’ll find stats to support his narrative. He also posted that Furman and Mercer will be tied for 1st place in the SOCON at the end of he season ignoring that the Paladins just lost to a team that Citadel already beat.
We are 2 games in and we really don’t know if this is a WCU team who pushed NC State or who folded up against Campbell. We’ll know a lot more after these next 2 games.

We will lose by 2.5- 3 TDs unfortunately I think you are correct, sadly.
