    For what it's worth, the major contributors on this year's team were not transfers. Our QB and all 3 RBs that played, all but 1 WR, majority of OL, Dl & LBs were hold overs. Our starting center ended up being a true freshman. We had other freshmen (true or redshirt) play a lot. The biggest transfer contributer was one of our WRs.

    They also didn't have a whole new team of players lol. This is similar to when you complained about CN number of transfers.

    Transfers is the new way of college football. It's the future unfortunately
    Its how WFla became very successful very fast and they started from scratch like Limestone except they did the whole team transfer process a few years back.

    Exactly.

They lost the first game to a very good west Alabama in the last 11 seconds at Alabama. There other loss was to the national champion Valdosta. The next year there only loss was to the national champion WFla 43-38 in the po. Now you tell me that is not getting a team turned around better than an 8-4 team and I totally disagree.

    Both coaches did great jobs, but its not really similar situations. Cronic took over a program with 2 down years but had talent on the roster.Cronic didn't need to bring in a bunch of transfers. The talent was in Hickory already. Keller was just a horrific coach. His first mistake was starting his own kid at QB, who was awful.

    Furrey took over a program that was winless the year prior and had won just 4 games since 2018. And based on comments from people here and people I know, it was debatable if he had any support from the school or AD.

    And bringing in transfers or whatever is part of college football now. Furrey had to bring in transfers because there wasn't much talent and people left. Sometimes people leaving is a big plus. Not a single dude who transfered from CN last year was missed this year. Not 1. And none of them really did anything in their new homes.

    Like I said. Both coaches did great jobs. But the two situations are not really comparable at all.

    He also didn’t bring in but three transfers to a 3-8 team. Either way they both did a great job. But 26-3 is awesome over two years.

    And given the number of recruits he brought to campus for the four football games, he will have some hard decisions on who to offer for next year.

    I haven't heard anything definitive as to when additional permanent seating and a new scoreboard will be added. As a booster I'm usually in on information about fundraising but I've seen nothing specific with regards to amount of money, any drawings, etc...I know the school also wants to build some type of football building behind one endzone. The original discussion was to use temporary seating this year and have permanent seating and other amenities for next season. We'll see.
