If Looney or Kitts or whoever else has any balls, they’ll fire Willis tonight. Absolutely unacceptable. I am beyond pissed. They don’t. I’m assuming he’ll be reassigned and continue to work at UNA similar to Linder.

How good is our 27, 6, 1, 5, and 87. How bad is the entire defense? Their guys were wide open every play? Offense deserved a win. That’s a tough loss, every loss is hard, but the offense knows the defense isn’t D2 caliber. Tough.

Willis needs to look those guys in the face and apologize to them for the defense being a bad as they are. Hell, he was a defensive coach. He should be absolutely ashamed that two out of the last three weeks, this defense couldn’t stop a team from driving the damn field in a minute to win the game. Of course, if I was in charge he’d be walking his ass back to Florence.

Too bad the conference games actually count this year.

Been a lot of fun watching Powell run the football this year. Him, Lacey, and Kenebrew will all be at new schools next season if this staff returns I can guarantee it.

Well, EKUSteve, good game. You guys played great offensively, and poorly defensively as we did.

I think he said in a post earlier this week that he was going to the game. If I had to watch that in person, I’d not want to talk about it, either.

Funny you ask... I've have been asked many times in the past couple of weeks what we should do... So, I put emotions aside and went back and watched all the games kinda unbiased (as much as possible). The conclusion I have is that Willis, like Wallace, let's coaches coach. That being said, our Defense is the weak link this season. We have had too many penalties and stupid errors. But that seems to be less and less. What I have noticed this year as opposed to the past few years, the overall coaching staff acts a lot more professional around and away from the field. My conclusion is, Willis is under contract for a couple more years, so if they are going to abide by the contract, we have to find a better D coordinator. As easily as we are 1-5, we could just as easily be 5-1. The only game we have played that I thought (after watching them again) we probably wouldn't have won regardless, is Chattanooga. You all know where I stand on the issue with the posts and the Emails, but I have no say, sooo...

My opinion, Powell is the best running back UNA has ever had.
Hopefully we can keep him.

We had a chance against UTC, special teams killed us in that game. Also the interception going into score was awful. Walters seems to be growing each week and is pretty special in his own right running and throwing. Powell is the real deal. I hope he likes it at North Alabama and knows he will be the feature back here. He goes somewhere else, not guaranteed he gets that opportunity. Offense put up 14 points in the first quarter and was never shut out in any quarter. Coach Held really has that side of the ball improving. Each week we getting better. If our tackles could slow down some of those outside rushers we might even score more points? FG kicker has been steady when given the opportunity. Punter has to improve next year along with defensive recruiting at linebacker and in the secondary.
UNA now 43-1 when scoring 50 points or more. Hard to believe we have 50 points or more that many times….is that more than our basketball team the last couple of years?

Our offensive line has improved a lot. These skill players can't make the plays if the O-Line is weak and playing poorly. That's a fact.
I was thinking yesterday, Held's offense is a lot like the Cornhuskers' O from back in the day. It's weird to watch so much rushing success after the past few seasons of having hardly any at all.
Yet, now, our normally good D (which kept us in many games through the transition) isn't up to snuff.
Will we ever get the right combination of this or will Willis just keep on losing?
If they allow him to work out his contract, I won't be following.
