Barwis affect?
First off I want to say that I have been a believer in Mike Barwis. He looks and acts like a guy I want running the S & C progam. But this is year three now. Have we seen any real affect of having him on our staff. He was one of the main guys in the NCAA investigation.
It seems that especially on defense we get pushed around. I know we want to be fast, but in my opinion we need a little more mass. Are the players on defense just not good enough? Are they not smart enough to know what to do? Do we not have enough depth? How is any of this an issue in year 3 of RR and Barwis? Is it just youth?
I think that people go crazy over Barwis. I just think he is overrated, and we need to see some real evidence that these guys are getting stronger and faster, and more importantly it has to translate over to the field. Again, this is more about our D.

...is that we've seen a record number of transfers since the new staff came in. Guys are not willing to come in and bust their tails in the weight room like they were training for a Mr. Universe competition if they can't even crack the 2-deep. Better to go somewhere else where actual football is emphasized over conditioning if you're gonna ride the pine for 4 years. Of course, the guys who actually play are going to put up with it because it's M football. Go Blue!
