    Gonna drop some insider knowledge. I knew it weeks ago, but couldn't poast here.

    Just talked to one of Kendyl's family friends. Says KT (I call him that, means we tight) didn't like Pete. Says alot of the team doesn't like Pete. I pointed out it seemed like Danny Shelton seemed to like Pete. Was told Danny Shelton ain't no Steve Empterman (told this by an ex player no less)

    I said it seemed like alot of Sark guys were pussies and Pete was too tough for them. There really wasn't a response to that. Kendyl seemed like a nice enough kid, and knew the only way he was going to get to the "league" (that's what we call the NFL) was to get 100 catches and that wasn't going to happen here. So NAU, and 100 catches, here they come.

    So yeah, in a way, Miley chased him away. If Miley would have gotten him the ball 100 times, he'd still be here.

    It's really not surprising to hear some of the players don't like Peterman. Honestly, he is pretty much 180 degrees from the coach that recruited these guys. He focuses on details, academics matter and football has to be the most important thing in the world for you all at once.

    Peterman has said it as often as he possibly can, that this is not an easy process for players. One of the reasons he tells this to recruits and is straight up with them is so that when they come in they aren't freaked the hell out, like some of the current players are that he did not get a chance to recruit.

    I wish it could have been a smoother transition, but this is exactly what happens when a leader comes in with a different mindset. It's also proof of one of the many reasons this season was such a cluster fuck on the field.
    I wish it was smoother too. Some of the backlash is inevitable with a new coach, but I'm not sure it's a good thing. We'll find out.

    I agree with this. It's similar to why Arizona State is never a championship team - you always hear how easy it is to recruit to ASU because of the parties and girls, but that means you get a bunch of players who are more concerned about parties and girls than football. That can get you talent, but you need more to win big (a concept that Sark will never understand).

    It's a loss but not a huge loss...I'm sure he was a nice kid but players like him are a dime a dozen.

    Rosters all across college football are littered with Kendyl Taylor's.

    Good point and if we wanted a smooth transition, we should've hired Skippy Neuheisel back or taken a flier on Ron Zooook.

    Why do you hate the fallback plan?

    Smart move. A player looks better to scouts putting up big numbers at the FCS level than putting up pedestrian ones at the BCS level.

    And even if Miley was good, Taylor was still a 4th or 5th option. He wouldn't put up big numbers regardless of who was playing QB.
    Road we have to wide receivers coming back, that's it. Dont tell me he's our 4th-5th wr, he's the only who can go snatch a ball on 3rd and long and run after catch. Sheesh. We have double-zero depth at WR. Wait till next year and the following
