The 2008-12 stretch of playoff game losses were brutal.

It was either butt whippings by Richmond, Villanova, and Maine or heartbreak against Montana and Illinois State.

I can still hear the thwump of the extra point hitting the hand of the Redbirds player and the pall that fell over KBS in our last playoff game.

Maine was just ugly. Thanks for the reminder.

Interesting thread/discussion might be- top 5 best wins and losses. Second one might be too painful to relive

Seems like a good hire! Eager for us to get back to dominating the line of scrimmage.

I feel like DLo just didn’t have enough time and money last year to find solid coaches. Had to almost just take what we could get with the money and time we had. We had a ton of 25-30 year olds coaching…still kinda do.

Another coach is gone based off the website, will be interesting to see who coaches RBs moving forward.

Oh…Good find. I see that now. That hire was the most confusing and underwhelming at the time he was announced.

New OL coach looks good on paper. Let's hope that translates to better production in the trenches. I wonder if ACU has any OL talent that wants to follow Pugh??? It would be really nice if we had a minimum 8 solid OL players to count on next season, but I know that may be asking a bit much.
Picked up via free agency by the High Country All-Stars

Sounds like we got the special teams coordinator from Samford. Previously at Murray State and USCjr

Also, sounds we got Tulane’s assistant RB coach to coach our backs.

Tyler Zielenske. He was at South Carolina in 2022 so he knew Loggains from before. He also worked in a recruiting role as well for Samford so I wonder if he will do that along with special teams for us.
