Either we made another bad coach hire, making it basically 4 of 5 being bad in DI, or Elon has no interest in having successful football. If the latter is it, it's time to stop this, long term fans are leaving. I used to be diehard, now my apathy is thick, I cant even bring myself to see one game anymore, let alone shell out 75 for the family

Any Elon win in the last 5 years has been an upset. I hate to have observed a steady decline of a play-off caliber squad erode into a non-competitive group of looks good on paper, makes good practice videos. Yet cannot show it on the field is beyond frustrating. I'm wondering as an Alum how much of an impact our "Away" effort of other yet younger Alums are going to even turnout for events. One is able to tailgate and yet NOT attend or purchase a ticket for the game. I really do not think there is very much heart in the program. I Also think you should close this forum for good mainly from all the whiny fire the coach and my kid's gotten a raw deal for being on full scholarship comments. Losing sucks Fightin' Christians use to always play with heart and effort and We won our fair share. We are where We are Elon is the name of my college but it is a different school than the one where I went. I don't think it matters to the big check writers.

Last year we saw significant improvement, but remember how the season started.
Let's see how this season plays out.
But we all knew the defense would be a work in progress. Clearly there's a lot of progress needed.
Had hoped the offense would be farther along. Much farther.

U can't win if u don't play ur best players. The freshman class needs to b implementated, because of there abilities and attitudes to b great. These coaches r too literal and do not know how to recognize, nor coach talent

These coaches r too literal and do not know how to recognize, nor coach talent I'm a little scared to ask, but which freshmen that aren't already playing should, in your opinion, be playing ahead of upperclassmen?

Have you even watched a game? They have been rotating players every series and almost every play.
Get a clue.

If there are freshman that should be playing then the recruiting over the last few years has not done its job. Which may be the case. But I doubt we somehow hit the jackpot with the freshman class and should basically play a freshman team. There are personnel problems but it's more like the fact the Juniors and Seniors have left. Oh by the way. Parents and or players should refrain from posting retarded stuff like more freshman should play

Doesnt anwer my question, is it Elon pr Skosky. 4 of 5 coaches that, to be honest, are horrible. We got lucky with Lembo. Seagraves did fine in D2 but couldn't up his game long term in D1.
We are a school,and have been, in the top conferences of D1 for almost ten years. We should NOT be getting assistant coaches for head coaches, we should be hiring proven head coaches from D3, D2 and lower D1.
Our experiment hiring assistants has failed.

I agree with you on who we should hire, but im not ready to jump on the fire band wagon. He has had up and downs but look where he started. With that said, I understand his hire, we went with the guy that knew Elon and Im ok with that. Outside of hiring a past coach, we need to look at FCS or top D2. the differences are too great to go with a FBS assistant. Recruiting is a world apart. FBS you go after a QB and he goes elsewhere or is a flop, you most likely have another in the wings. In our would you swing and miss you are screwed and might not have that 2ed recruit.
