    Very interesting press conference yesterday.

    Basically said we have a mentally weak team and he shouldered the blame for it.

    I found it kind a refreshing, since it was very evident the past two years this team was anything but strong-willed under Skip...

    Not surprising since we have a mentally weak coach in charge.

    I also appreciate that Sonny does the local radio interviews every week. Early on, it would be an assistant or something, but as the season started to tank, he started showing up every week. Every week on Fletch, he shoulders the blame for the performance. He needs to figure out how to fix it, but it is refreshing after what Skip's MO was.

    Skippy would have done exactly the opposite. He would have had assistants take over almost all of his media responsibilities.

    It is the way Tech has lost and not just the number of losses that has Cumbie concerned. As are most of us. Cumbie knows this can't happen next year.

    While I think Coach Cumbie was just an interim HC at TT, this if I'm not mistaken is his first "full time he's in charge" HC position. He didn't walk into a situation that he probably thought he was walking into. I'm convinced he found a program in a lot worse condition than was evident on the surface. So couple the fact that this is his first rodeo with a program that was in the tank and you have the makings of a real struggle to right the ship. I'm hugely disappointed that we've not seen more progress this year. That is concerning. But at least we have a coach that is willing to stand up and take the slings and arrows and be honest and say he's responsible. SH NEVER would have done that and been serious. Coach Cumbie is believable. I think he's being honest and doing the best he can with the hand he was dealt. SH was an apparent master at hiding the rot that he had created.

    He's got at least 3 years total.

    There was no indication the program was in shambles last year. Tech nearly beat Miss St, SMU, and NC State. The gripe was that they would have if there was a competent coach who didn’t blow it in the end. The record doesn’t really reflect the talent that was on last year’s team.

    Every QB on the roster wasn’t here last year. This is the absolute least talented defense I’ve ever seen in Ruston, and it isn’t close.

    Cumbie brought in a bunch of transfers to fill the needs. QB has been decent. It’s hard to tell if the bad defense is due to talent or scheme. At times they do very well, but then give up a huge play. This may be a coaching issue.

    The scheme isn't all the way installed yet, and that is probably due to the lack of depth and talent. Think of where the Tech defense would be without the two transfers that came from SFA.

    Also think of where the defense could have been without injuries. Cedric Woods finally played for the first time this year at UTSA. Tyler Grubbs will probably not play again this year after getting hurt against UTEP. And numerous other players have been in and out with injuries. The lack of depth and injury revolving door have definitely caused the defense to significantly underperform expectations.

    We also have as many injuries this year as Holtz had graduates that first season. Hard to be a good, cohesive unit when we are barely 2 deep across most of the roster.

    This next game is going to say a lot about Cumbie’s ability to put an edge on the Dawg’s as in to sharpen a dull knife. Everyone knows what a pitiful performance in every way last Saturday was coaching included, so if after that this team doesn’t bounce back in a huge way I think it’s going to speak very poorly of coach’s own grit and his motivation skills. I get it that talent and depth wise we may be weak, but even lesser skilled guys can play their asses off and not be boneheads on the field.

    Go Dawgs, finish strong

    Cumbie taking responsibility for being bad will get just as tired and old as Holtz "we competed" and "gotta do better" comments and his constant deflection of blame if there are not improvements.
