Back in the mid 00's Ship went through a string of losing seasons hopefully it's not another string of what happened back then. I have faith in Mac to go recruit, coach up the returnees and adjust his staff as needed. Maybe it's time to look for a young fiery defensive coach to bring life and energy to that side of the ball. Offensively with their WR core returning and young emerging TE and an experienced OL returning as well they shouldn't have trouble scoring points. The 2020 crossover is a lot more favorable with Edinboro, Clarion and Mercyhurst as opposed to this year having Clarion, IUP and Rock.
2005: 4-7
2006: 5-6
2007: 3-8
2008: 4-7

Ship goes through these periods. One of them, unfortunately, was the '60s when I attended as we had only one winning season in the four I was there. That after Ship had eight consecutive winning seasons in a row in the '50s under two different coaches. The program then slowly improved to the point of tying East Stroudsburg in the State Game in 1976 (no OT then) and the 1981 team was probably the best in school history, going 12-0 before losing to North Dakota State in the second round of the playoffs. I was fortunate enough to attend several games that year, including an upset of FCS-level James Madison, the State Game win over Millersville, and the first-round upset of Virginia Union as well as the loss to NDS. Rocky Rees' tenure reflected the up-and-down nature of Ship football with many highs and lows. Those losing seasons you mention occurred, of course, after we lost many players from the John Kuhn-Brent Grimes teams.

I have faith Coach Mac and the staff will right the ship sooner than later. One of Reese big problems during that 4 year stretch was the outdated offense, the top recruits especially WR and QB's weren't interested in coming to Ship to block and hand the ball off every play. With the spread offense they can recruit anyone to come in and have a equal part in helping the team win while compiling great stats. The big change will have to be defensively with the scheme and type of recruits on the front end. If you can rush the QB consistently you make bad DB's look average, and good DBs look great.
Apparently the honor of standing up for the WEST in '20, '21 goes to a team with red as a school color...well actually not red so much as CRIMSON. '20 @ KUTZ, @SHEP '21 KUTZ, SHEP @HOME.Last edited by CALUPA69; 10-30-2019, 03:29 PM.
