A team is what its record says it is. A coach is measured the same way.
I hope for improvement and hope is about all we have.
If this year is mediocre or bad it will be time to make a move. Another 49-point loss will be tough to take and THE gme last year proved that LU could not stop another team, could not execute, when everything was on the line.

Ultimate Hawk,

I must agree. THIS is the year that should determine the future of the program under Coen.

Less than 7 wins, I'll lose patience (like anyone cares) and call for ANOTHER new start under someone else.

I do think they'll win 8.

Seven wins is good. Eight would be spectacular. I do not think we can expect nine as an average anymore. Going 0-2 Drake and Nova to start would be a huge problem. Drake was 6-5 last year with a couple obscure wins.

I've been saying all along it's up to the coach to get the players to perform. This team has a good amount of talent across the board. I could agrue man for man there is more talent and depth than anyone in the league. It's up to the coaching staff to put them in position to succeed. Good coaches can get players to achieve beyond their perceived ability. I have yet to see anyone who i can honestly say has overachieved, especially on offense. Coen and his staff have failed to do that the previous two years. Look at what Biddle, Gilmore, Massalla, and Tavani were able to do their first 2-3 years with easily way worse situations and talent bases. That is what Coen needs to judged upon. If this team has a losing season Coen needs to go, no ifs ands or buts about it. He would have thus shown he could not improve upon anything. Even a 6-5 record and loss to Lafayette might deserve the axe. 7-4 and he's safe for another year. Who was the last Lehigh coach to start out their tenure losing their first 3 against the Pards?
