Terribly embarrassing. I have nothing else to say.

30-7 start of the 4th. Getting blown out. Giving up 400 yards in 3 quarters is not good defense.
And STILL not TD. If we can't score a TD today, we won't score a TD the rest of this season.
I am on board with dumping Skrosky

If they don't fire the staff after today, give them a 5-year extension. This is an all out disaster.

Fire the coach, URI gave up 84 points last week and we score 7 on an Int return for a TD. This team lacks heart and coaching. Bring on the basketball season.

So the sky was falling when Sweepson was fired but to put things in perspective we had an equally terrible record but the offense was better in every category. Time to fire the whole offensive staff including the HC. Wish I could be more positive but the facts speak for themselves

I'm stunned.
Changes are coming. They must. The degree of change is the only question.

Swepson was done when Elon have WHY their first SoCon win in 3 years. We didn't just lose but we're dominated by a UTI team that last won a CAA game when?

Upon further review. Sweepsons offensive was significantly better every year. For those that say RS inherited a dumpster fire. There were 8 returning starters in RS first year from an offense that was better statistically in every category than any offense RS had had in 3 years RS just chose not to play 5 of those returning starters. Looks like the problem is with the HC

What an absolute embarrassment. You simply can't keep Skrosky. There is a level of ineptitude being demonstrated right now that's not going to suddenly change.
I've also argued each time someone has thrown Blank into the fire in the past, but I'm on board with getting rid of him as well. There is a level of complacency across all the fall sports this year and no action being taken thus far by Blank to fix any of it. It would appear getting to the CAA was the ultimate end goal, winning is just a nice to have.
Here's the CAA records for the first 3 years of the fall sports: Football: 4-20 (I'd advise turning your head next Saturday, it's not going to be pretty) Women's Soccer: 4-20-2 (Last place every year) Volleyball: 7-40 (Probably the worst of all Elon programs since joining the CAA) Men's Soccer: 13-6-5 (Proof you can compete right away)
The inaction by Blank is as disconcerting as the performances on the field. Everyone appears to be on cruise control...nothing to see here.
Go Phoenix!

I agree. I was a big give Skrosky another year until this game. Rhode Island must be glad we're in the conference now

Crowd was pathetic, no atmosphere at all.
Sad senior day and absolute train wreck of a football program.
Skrosky should be fired tonight or tomorrow. Let Wrobo coach the final game.
3 years = 7 wins and only 3 wins at home in those 3 years. Criminal.

Who is the big wig on this site cutting the check for a buyout?
Exactly
Of course this is a disappointing season, but this is our 3rd year in the CAA where on any given weekend, 2/3 of the conference is ranked in the top 25.
To keep things in perspective, we were trending down in a weaker SoCon conference under Swepson. In my opinion, last year's performance would've given us a winning season in the SoCon. This year's maybe .500.
Of course all of this is in my opinion, but Skrosky needs 5 years and let's look at the trajectory then.
When they keep Skrosky at the end of this season, I hope all of you don't quit writing those huge checks you send in every year. What are you doing to help the trajectory of this program?

I do plenty. Trust me.
This is a joke.
Blank, it looks like, has made two hires that have not worked out.
Our programs are a joke. He should be on the block as well
