Dennis Wagner is the winner of this year's "TG scape goat" award. He has been fired to make it appear as if TG is actually doing something. Last year it was Stamn's demotion that was going to cure all of our ills. Unfortunately our problem is systemic. By the way, I realize that it is at least a worthy discussion as to if a change was needed at that position, however in typical TG fashion, he is missing the big picture. I know I dare not say this but could you not argue perhaps it is our defensive leadership that at least needs to be reviewed? We were all told by that leadership that they were excited abut this year's defense because we were going to pair a good DL with a much improved secondary since they were all a year older. If you check the performance of our defense in every big game over the last three years that we have lost, it doesn't paint a pretty picture.
2014= UNC 56-29, Indiana State 38-19, Richmond 46-39, CSU 38-36
2015= WVU 41-17, CSU 31-24
2016= Jax State 48-14, CSU 48-26, Coastal 42-7 (CSU and Coastal did their damage with 3rd and 4th string QBs)
As you can see, it would appear the defense is regressing, against FCS and Big South competition. The point not being to necessarily put it on all the defense, but to put it where the reality is, on the fact that under TG's leadership this program is trending in the wrong direction. On the brighter side, TG informed the assistant coaches on Saturday that the reward for their 3rd 6-5 season in five years is that they are all receiving new 2 year contracts with guaranteed salary through 2018 and he himself has a contract for three more years. That is what happens when you have the prez in your pocket. Margeuax Gill, apology accepted, was more right than anybody cares to admit.
