As of today, we have won 3 games, most of us will not expect us to win another game...
Is this better than or less than you expected from a totally different coaching staff?
Are we on the right track?

Well it may sound crazy but winning 4 games would be huge for this team against this schedule. Progress made by winning on the road at Tennessee Tech and really winning a game against UTC that literally nobody thought would happen. Utah Tech win was a win, sort of right? Team believes it can win, that wasn’t there last year. I wear my UNA tinted glasses for every game….see my predictions….but last year I knew going in it wasn’t going to be fun leaving the stadium. I really felt like we could win every FCS game this year. Daniel’s going down really hurt. Injuries happen, but we didn’t have a playmaker to replace his explosive production. Walters protects the football and we score. Defense has played well in spurts while still lacking a true difference maker at linebacker or edge rusher. Safeties tackle well, not ball hawks. DB’s let receivers get over the top, may be a talent issue there with speed? Punter has surprised in a good way except for the one bad blunder. FG kicker has been a major let down this season. Coaching staff is very much improved and should have a better feel after year one. Don’t know about recruiting just yet, from the few I have seen it looks like some top talent is heading our way. 3 game D1 win improvement from last year and really think we have a shot Saturday for win 4. To win that last game would really build some momentum for us. Florida State could be really bad…or maybe we surprise with some points and decent showing. I am afraid style points are big for them in their hunt for the playoffs. I would take another 3 game win improvement for next year. Roar Lions!

If you consider that we basically went 0-10 last year, it's definitely progress.
I've made this comparison several times, but Hudspeth went 4-7 in his first year in very similar circumstances. But we would all be more than happy with a run similar to what he went on in the years after that, right? So I think we at least have to give the staff a mulligan for this year. Even with the portal, it's not easy to turn a winless team into a playoff team. Just ask Deion!
The goal has to be a winning season next year. I'm not saying Dearmon would be on the hotseat with a 5-6 record or whatever, but it would be disappointing. Year 2 is usually a big jump for most coaches.

Senior day! These guys went through some tough times. We need to show up and go crazy in support. Program builders! Giving it all they got for their last home stand we find a way! Lions offense is still clicking from last week and puts all the pressure on UCA to keep up. Defense gets another turnover and another one and lookout! Lions get win 4 on the 4th! Kickoff is also at 4. Too many 4’s not to be right! I am all for it!
UNA 45 UCA 41
Lions win by….you guessed it….4
Roar Lions!

You keep working and recruit well.
You do have a really good win against Chattanooga, which is currently ranked 14th.
