I think we obviously lost a lot of talent in last year's senior class--Gubner, Walker, Forbes, Cotton, Graves, Hill, Flink, Jancarro--and we do not yet have the talent and skill we had last year, and I think the 3-3-5 needs to be junked, and we should go back to the good ol' days of the solid 4-3-4, aka 1995 and 2001 !!!
The good news: we went 8-4 in a rebuilding year, and on paper at least, we have a promising incoming '25 freshman class with more talent, beef, and depth coming for both the O and D lines. Although we didn't live up to our preseason # 1, almost no team rated a preseason # 1 in The Big Sky finishes the regular season as conference champions. A lot of our fellow Big Sky peers would be over-the-moon happy with an 8-4 year-- Weber, Sac. State, Eastern, Northern Colorado, Idaho State !!!
While we really need some improvement in coaching and schemes and more talent, help is on the way in the three previous recruiting classes and this incoming class--the wheels are not coming off the GRIZ Cadillac, and next year, the Shi##y Kitties are going to experience what we experienced this year as Tommy Mellot, Wehr, Green, etc.graduate !!!
Go GRIZ !!!
