There’s no denying it’s a strong start for English. Portalpalooza problems helped him keep some pieces that might have bolted but he’s off to a great start and should be able to recruit more top talent.

Very grim for us indeed.

I would be cautious using David Cox as any sort of example of anything.

And that hiring him would be a complete waste of time, ...

Yeah one trick pony coaches are going to struggle. A pure motion offense like McKillop ran should always work at D1 level. Motion is the play.

Other than that agree system must be tweaked to fit the players you have.

Portalpalooza is a different game for coaches that aren’t running P5 programs.
