I don't see any of those "Catamount football is improving" guys out today.
Wonder why?
Fact is, we are at the same low point as we were in Briggs' 6th season (1-10), as we were in Wagner's 4th season (1-10), as we are in Speir's 2d season, 1 - ?
Briggs
2002 – 5-6 overall, 3-5 SoCon
2003 – 5-7 overall, 3-5 SoCon
2004 – 4-7 overall, 2-5 SoCon
2005 – 5-4 overall, 4-3 SoCon
2006 – 2-9 overall, 0-7 SoCon
2007 – 1-10, overall, 0-7 SoCon
Wagner
2008 – 3-9 overall, 1-7 SoCon
2009 – 2-9 overall, 1-7 SoCon
2010 – 2-9 overall, 1-7 SoCon
2011 – 1-10 overall, 0-8 SoCon
Speir
2012 – 1-10 overall, 0-8 SoCon
2013 - 1-4 overall, 0-2 SoCon

I feel that Speir's problem is the same as Wagner's. His coaching staff.
This team has the talent to be at least competitive, if not win some games. However Speir has not assembled a staff that can turn a struggling program around, especially on defense. We can't possibly be as bad on defense as the results of our games this season.
A good coaching staff would have our guys over achieving, to say this one has the just has them "under achieving" would be an under statement.

Catamount Football is improving......question is what are you doing to help it improve?
Does it do any good to come on here and whine about it? Post old records from days gone by??

Coach Speir has only had 1 true recruiting class. we have switched to a 4 -3 defense and Coach Quinn is just getting started.
We need to sign a throwing qb, some beef on the d line, and some hitters at linebacker. I also believe we need to mix
it up on offense and go to an I formation with qb under center to bang out short yards and red zone opportunities.
I believe the program will get on the up swing next year.

New coach, loosing program, lack of funds, did you guys expect change overnight?
Building a football program takes years not days.
We need support from our fans, our players are not backing down they are going to continue to work hard I know they will.

I believe the program will get on the up swing next year. That line is put out year, after year, after year. Next year is the year. Next year it will turn around. There's light at the end of the tunnel, next season belongs to the Cats. "Purple Power", "Rise as Catamounts" It's too bad, next year always comes, but with the same results. If you think this coaching staff will win more than 1 game next season, you are only fooling yourself. |

Here's an idea, if you dont like what the coaching staff is doing to rebuild this program go be a walk on for the scout team.

I find past records interesting. I also understand frustration. I haven't been a Cat fan but for 2.5 years so I don't know that the past alumni have had to endure. I can tell you in high school we went from a 10-0 team to a 0-10 team in 2 years, wow what a frustration that was. I can tell you that in coaching I have gone from a 1-11 team to a 7-4 team in 3 years what a joy that was. In all the posts, through all the frustrations, my hope is that the team improves, the coaching staff makes changes for the better, and we can all say positive things. Just so you know I doubt even if we are winning the negative comments won't quit it just happens. I for one enjoy the back and forth of the forums and hope we keep it up and get more people posting because that means more people are interested in Catamount Football.
