This really just boils down to a few major issues that brought on last years results, and will more than likely continue going forward.

1. Over all lack of football knowledge displayed by the staff.
(Defensive issues previously mentioned should cover that one.)

2. Over all lack of preparation.
(I wonder, when was the last time the kids saw a scouting report?)

3. Over all absence of the basic football fundamentals being taught.

Say what you will. You may just think I am being critical, but keep this in mind: the only kids left from that semi-final team (except 2) will graduate this May. From now on, kids will have to attempt to learn how to play the game facing the above issues.

Someone asked earlier why numbers dwindled below 30 for the last game of the season. Kids are a lot smarter than we give them credit for sometimes. If you don't think they see the issues I mentioned, you are sadly mistaken. It is for these reasons the program is viewed by the student population as a waste of time.

Again, you probably just think that I am being critical. I invite you to ask someone close to the program (i.e. parent, coach, player) how many kids are spending time in the weight room this off season. The answer may surprise you.
