Title: Coach Carlson's latest blog entry
Post by: 78crusader on January 23, 2012, 02:53:38 PM
Coach's latest blog entry is now up.  I think you all will find it informative.  I am glad he is our football coach.  Better -- much better -- things are on the horizon for VU football.  Paul

Me too! His 1-21 record is impressive and our #246 ranking is outstanding. What more can you say? Wait till next year - sure! :crazy:

Hey, they did win a game!

In truth, that was far more than I thought they were capable of so I'll take it. When you were dead last in almost every catagory the year before, getting a win is a minor miracle. Now, why were they dead last in almost everything is a different topic entirely.

This blog entry is prior to the spring game:

In the blog, Coach Carlson would like readers to help the program with donations.  I'm sure others were aware of this site, but you can direct your donation to a specific team:

How many wins are needed this fall for SetShot to donate to football, rather than saying to drop football?

Not sure they'll get six this year, but anything is possible.  I'd just like to see the football team at or above .500 every year.  I think that is possible in the near future.

I honestly believe 2 to 3 wins is most likely and 4 to 5 wins would be a huge huge improvement worthy of coach of the year award.

3-4 wins and no loss by over 21 (except for YSU which I want to see be no more than 35).  That to me would be a very good indication of a positive program direction.
