Now that this season is over , what are some of the key positions we really need to pick up during the offseason ?

No excuse to lose to uab , Tre Lamb has a lot of work to do in the offseason
Finished 4 and 8 this year very similar to Dave radar 10 years with 40 and 70 record just different now 12 game seasons not 11, our football team just doesn’t have the never quit or fold in winnable close games like our basketball team does our football coach needs to visit with the our basketball coach he has mastered that skill

Coaching decisions is why we lost to UAB. Can’t convince me otherwise. That said it’s hard to say what we need as we need players at every position. Not like we are limited on how many players we can get from the portal as long as we don’t go over 105. We don’t know who is hitting the portal yet plus those that are graduating.

so my answer is we need to get players at every position

I agree a good young coach but still plenty to learn in finishing games but we did better than most expected.

I didn’t expect us to only win one conference game and finish next to last in the AAC. Did you expect worse ?
We beat OK State in Stillwater and Army at WP. He gets some credit for those no matter how bad OSU is. Other recent coaches would have found a way to lose.

So no real bitching from me. I did leave Stillwater happy but convinced we were not very good.

We were so bad last year, that I didn’t know what to reasonably expect , beating osu made me grin from ear to ear even though they are trash .I was glad to see us competitive in most games besides Memphis, but next year we need to keep progressing , no excuse to not be in a bowl game next year. Tre Lamb has a lot of work to do in the offseason ( especially on defense) but I have a lot more hope in him then I do the drunk Kevin Wilson

The trenches. We need impact bodies on both the OL and DL. OL needs to be able to hold a pass block for more than 2 seconds. DL...we need guys who can generate pressure on the QB without having to blitz extra guys. We have pretty good players at the skill positions. We have 1 shut down corner so we need to do what we can to hold onto him. Devin Robinson showed he can absolutely play. I was so impressed with the Union kids down the stretch...the guys Wilson offered as sort of afterthoughts. Outside of the muffed punt, Grayson Tempest has been playing great for TU. He's a Wes Welker/Danny Amendola type of WR.

We need big bodies to make a big leap forward next season.
