I think its time for some rebuttal. I have read "Loser mentality", "wishful hoping on recruits", "it doesn't matter who coaches them as long as they are nice". With 4 preseason all league performers, our creditbility is there. One first teamer in Jonathon Spain, LB. Spain is a beast. Taught by Freddie Autry-Lindsey, an opportunistic player in college that won at least two games by himself. Second team All conference Clay Johnson, OL. Johnson is a leader on the line. Taught by Ron Mattes, who had a 4 star son OL, and himself was a leader in college. Also on the second team, Kierre Brown, WR. Brown has unlimited potential to still be untapped. Coached up by Kevin Downing, who coached up Mellete (remember that guy?). Downing brings an interesting twist, he coached DB's so he knows the moves. Making the second team All Conference Defensive backfield at Safety is Chandler Wrightenberry. He is a tackling machine. Taught by Dan O'Brien, coached on BCS Title Team and teaches turnovers, 3 DB's had 2 ints. That is 4 players at 4 different levels. 1 is a skill position (WR). 2 are on each side of the ball. Head coach, OC, and DC are all creditable and have the pieces to put together a very formidable game plan. Preseason Polls don't factor in what they don't know We have a new DC. Polls don't know how he is so the safe pick is to put us last. We have 2 special players at LB and S. Jordan Jones and Tony Thompson are returning seniors on the DL. Elon has at least 4 impact players on defense. Loser Mentality? Tell these guys that and then let me volunteer you to be a tackling dummy.
Recruiting, yes I like recruiting. Why do I like it? Recruiting is passion for you school. Recruiting is football players that make your football team better. Recruiting is watching your team grow. If you don't understand that, then I cant explain it to you. I would rather my school, Elon, reach as many prospective recruits that could help Elon reach the ultimate goals. I think its important.
I will close with this. The football players excel and achieve on the field when they take advantage of the opportunity given them. The coaches have brought with them excellent credentials and produce. Any recruit checking out Elon will realize that Elon has a culture and passion unmatched on the grid iron. Look at the coaches, the players that play after college, and the universities commitment with facilities. Jimmy Johnson, head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, once said" you have training camp to create a champion. That day starts today". Bill Parcells, you know who he is, once said" For every All Pro I start, that's a W. For every rookie I start an L. Everything else inbetween we play the game and I coach them. #LTML #ElonFootball #Ownthemoment
