Geez, a little touchy about the 2014 recruiting class. Wonder why? I'm only pointing out that right after the championship season, we didn't do a great job recruiting. But sure, put it all on-field coaching, not poor recruiting. I've said this several times on this forum. They screwed up during that period and should have gone harder after some guys that wanted to recruited. We thought we had finally made it so why go the extra mile when the playoffs are more important.

Is coaching an issue? Is it all on recruiting? Of course not. One of the reasons why there is a coaching shakeup.

I appreciate you’ll letting me talk football in this fan chat room.good luck in the up coming season.

Some kids in this 2014 class found out that they didn't want to be college football players.  It's a full time job at this level and not every HS star is capable of balancing the academics and physical/mental demands of college football.

Maybe some kids found out they got a bunch of lip service.dont put it all on the kids

how do you talk about the great rob and jared ambrose like that??!!!   Runda, I think he meant transfers and castoffs from other programs.

Clark, Gaddis, Sheppard, Love, Kinnard, Dowling, Pfeiffer, Enders, Dangerfield, and oh some guy named West.  All from 12/13 teams that were real good players and they all werent recruited out of HS by the "brothers"

Well done

False! Don't make stuff up.  Which players were dismissed from another school on that 2013 team?  Telvion Clark that's it.. and that's a kid that was in the wrong place at the wrong time at VT. 

Why would I make stuff up I don’t have nothing to gain or lose.believe what you wanna believe . I support the team because players are there from my school district.when I say something I have done some research and you should not call names those players are gone now.

When you look back at the downfall of this program, it starts with the recruiting class after the 2013-14 FCS championship runner-up, when we concentrated more on the playoffs then the reason we got to the playoffs (getting good football players). Monty Fenner and Will Hayes were/are all-conference players. Matt Kaufman is a starter. Sam Gallahan decent rotation receiver. Ellis couldn't make it at qb. Some faded away, others were just marginal backups or got hurt. Need more production from three or four players out of 17.

Matt respectfully don’t just put it on the recruiting class from 2013-2014.coaching got a hand in it also.a lot of the impact players on the team that went to the championship were guys that were only at Towson because they were dismissed from the schools were they were at. I am pulling for Towson to get better but we can be realist about things.

There are some guys that got great potential looking at there film.will they use them?will they develop them?as far as RB goes we got some good ones already.last season they bought a guy in at RB was damaged before he got there bad decision.other backs could have got those reps that were already there.if stover doesn’t get hurt he will be the starter that kid is good and he has time to get better.miller is going to be good with time but he would have to be exceptional to beat out stover looking at the film good but not exceptional.not criticizing just being real I got a lot of hope for Towson 

Good size looking at the film good hands 4.48 probably more like 4.6 should have tried to get the QB who was throwing to him also.Kid has a high potential.

By me being a football coach I understand that.for a Fcs 1AA program 8 guys which none have graduated?four of those 8 where in there last year of eligibility.

Somebody better find the problem and fix it.

8 players left the program?????

Didn’t see Jordan wait fullback is he gone to?

Looking at the film Lb which there will be a need for given Tedder and Wallace are sr.

You will see a shock at  RB then you are going to say why the hell you never used him.

Looking back at the season Maryland was the only real ass kicker.the other games that were lost play calling and simple mistakes.

I think Towson is going to be better for the simple fact that a playoff season could be the grounds for a coaching extension.with that being said I think you gonna see better play calling and a better rotation of players.

They have an older team then Towson. Towson is going to be ok they just gotta develope the talent that’s there,and get some good on the field leadership. 

Jmu going to the championship again but looking at them play they not that better then Towson.If Towson can fix there play calling and more consistent QB play not far off. Next season I can see playoffs maybe hopefully.

It doesn’t matter what anybody says in this room.the football program has a reputation.   I am a coach believe me word gets around on every program.thats why it is important coaches do the right things.

Great since of humor 

Great game showed some fight Towson 

At this point in the season your not going to the playoffs I agree with playing the young guys.you always want to finish strong but you want to evaluate also see what the young guys can do in real game situation.that was a good win yesterday 

Well said matt

Maybe it will all come together it is a split right now 50 percent players 50 percent coaches.win or loose I like the passion in the chat room.

Thanks I appreciate you did not now it was English class.dont waste your time reading my post move on griggy20 I know the truth hurts.if you want I give you my phone number and tell you what I mean 

Here the thing you can fire who ever th culture has to change games should be sold out every week that Towson is home.nothing against other sports but basketball and football should be standing room only.you can't win  fans over by being stubborn and arrogant again develope a program that will at least put you in the playoffs every year
