Has the coaching staff improved our football team?

McGowen is more than likely being offered a shot as the starter. If he has any ability, he will have a good chance. Personally, I am not sold on any of the current RB's and their ability be a full-time starter. We short yardage, change of pace runners but no lead RB.

I don't know how durable he will end up being but Wilcox looks like he could be the lead back in a platoon of RBs. There are evidently preparation issues with him but it appears to me that the talent is there.

If we add McGowan, won't someone in that room transfer? We've got 4 RBs - is that not enough? I'm assuming Mizell is healthy enough to play. If not, then adding another RB makes sense.

Just a gut feeling, but Wilcox feels like the one that will be cut loose if we reel in this new rb. We all see what he does on game day, so there must be some serious issues behind the scenes. If hes a casualty to fix our culture issues, im all for it.

As always, one guys opinion, mine. That would be a mistake, seems there is nothing serious going on, they continue to play him, they kept him on the team through the offseason. Reading between Stoop’s comments, he doesn’t study on his own like he’s expected to. His blocking needs to be better, you can’t let guys loose on your quarterback, he was really good talent, I’m hoping his prep work and commitment get better and he is on the field more.

Wilcox has a long to go before he is the starter.

^ Who's opinion should anyone give besides one guy's (his own)? Since he doesn't study on his own as he's expected to, how is that not a culture issue?

I agree with you. I just can't imagine who else it would be.

Difference between realizing one’s potential or not. Probably applies to over half of D one athletes. That’s why there are 1000s of D1 athletes and only 1500 or so pro.

Good point on my opinion. I only preface that all of the time to point out that I don’t know squat, I observe everything from afar.
