Now, ask yourself the question, why were you guys forced to promote from within?

Is your current offense the problem? Of course not.

You don't have to believe me. Whether you believe me or not, I'm just telling you the perception of the program from outside. I couldn't care less.

Nobody said we were forced to promote from within. The previous DC got a head coaching job, so the AD didn't cause him to leave.

Looking at the schedule, how do see Lynn winning 6 games?

Before the season started I predicted 5-6 with a possible 4-7. Now I am thinking 3-8 is possible.

They brought in one of the top OCs in the nation. They should have brought in a new DC instead of promoting from within.

Lynn coached a year under the old AD. He sucked then and now. Good coaches don't take years to get to .500. Lynn is making Nesbitt and Hughes look good.

I think Western Oregon should be the final measuring stick for WT and Lynn. If WT loses next week and cant finish better than 6-5, You have to make the coaching change for 2026.

Well, the word on the street is that your new AD is impossible to work for, so until you guys get rid of him, it won't get better even if you guys fire Lynn, because word is getting out to coaches not to work for that guy.

Which is hurting Lynn's ability to hire assistants. Which is how I heard about it, directly from a WT person who fled Canyon. And it wasn't because of Lynn.

And you don't have to take my word for it - Lynn has won literally everywhere else, and the most cursory look on LinkedIn at the turnover of WT Athletics will confirm my above statement. A guy who won a share of a conference title at ENMU didn't suddenly forget how to coach football.

They decide to build a New Stadium when Carthel was keeping the Buffs in the top 10 and a power house in D2. Well they fire Carthel and its been down hill for many years now. No way can WT keep the current coach. Largest school in the LSC and defense is awful.. no rushing game.. Sad.

LSC is just absolutely brutal this year. We talk about the top three, but it's not just the top 3.

If you swapped Western Oregon or Kingsville into the GAC, they are probably getting a top 3 spot in the GAC.

Then you have WT who is just a total scatterplot of performance. They can just magically appear or disappear at any point on the performance number line.

I like Lynn, but this was probably the worst possible year to have to make a statement in the LSC to keep your job. I feel for the guy.[/QU

Without going too deep into the MMA math playing Mines close, and getting beat but hanging in vs Western Colorado is a deviation compared to them looking like Sul Ross tonight.

I'm just not real sure what to make of this WT squad. Just kind of all over the place.

Mines lost at home to Chadron so playing them close isn't looking very impressive.

I gotta be honest, I didn't expect WT to get their doors blown off like that with how well they played Mines and held it together against Western Colorado.

Big ol yikes.

Looks like my original guess of 1-4 for opening the season will be right because I don't see much of a chance that WT can keep up with WOU.

The next win will be against Sul Ross, then maybe ENMU and MSU will round out the wins. So 4-7 for the year.

Congratulations to CWU, one of the best teams in D2. It looks like a nice place to watch a game.

12 quarters of football played and WT defense has allowed 105 points, yet we should only consider 2 quarters of game play? This Saturday I predict the score to be 63-28 Central Washington

Looks like you may be half right.

[ASUPops]

I didn't mean it to sound arrogant. I was just looking at the box score and how many played for WT.

I'm not a WTAMU poster. Didn't even graduate there. I'm just an observer and occasionally comment. My comments aren't worth $.02, but it's fun to gab.

Just pushing buttons. 😂

I thought you were a Buffoon. My bad.

Based on participation and stats, it looks like both sides played deep rosters.
