I'm just waiting for the regression towards the mean, though we're half way through the conference so it's going to have to happen quickly if it ever does .  Like fats said, grant sucks (which is microcosm of the team as a whole sucking).  We're really not that good of a football team and even in that assertion I'm taking into consideration the rest of the not so good football teams in the North. The "inspired" stuff is great and all, but it's not about and never was about this season.  Who gives a crap about going to a bowl game this year if Coffman is our QB next year (I'm not considering Harper at QB)?  The only question about Bill Snyder is whether he has the assistants and the framework to recruit, not whether he could get Houlik into the right "fit".

I don't think this season is really as much about Snyder as it is about everyone else in the division.  Snyder is what we thought/knew he was.   What I'm seeing this year is that the rest of the programs are not that good and are not where the fans/media thought they were.   IF Snyder can find a way to recruit he can do some serious damage against these clowns.   We're a decent QB away from having this division wrapped up already.  The question is will we have a decent QB next year or will we be running out there with the same kind of crap we have now?

Completely agree.

If we can play DOD type of defense who gives a flying funk who the QB is.  We will just need someone whos does not turn the ball over and can make a play or two and so far Grant Gregory has been doing that.  And we will find someone on the bench who can do that next year too.  Snyder does not run a complicated offense so just about anyone can play QB and be servicable. 

I'm more interested in getting the hardnosed defense that when another team has 1st and inches on the goal line I feel the chances of us getting a stop are better than them scoring.  Or, when they are 3rd and long we will more likely get a sack then them completing a pass.  That is what I miss about the DOD.

Why is everyone already writing harper off at qb next year. Compared to what else it looks like we're gonna have, he has to be the best option. I think he's a lot like Ell was in '01 and he'll be playing against a lot sh*ttier north schedule, great potential w/ the kid
