       Funny you mention Hemphill. I think we should have fired Coach P
       after the 2016 season and promoted Hemphill to be the head
       coach. Hemphill coached our guys into the number 1 defense in
       FCS for a time. To let that guy simply walk out the door was
       criminal. I wonder if we could get him back? He was far and away
       the best guy to take over our program. That defense was the only
       thing preventing those teams from going 2-9.
       [/quote]
       My thoughts exactly.  Why he wasn't chosen to supersede coach P
       is a mystery.  Obviously, coach P has a strong hold on this
       Athletic dept. As far as getting Hemphill back to SB. Forget it.
       He went form a safeties coach to Defensive coordinator.  That's
       huge in the FBS and his ceiling is endless.  Dont be shocked to
       see him as the HC at some Power 5 team in the near future.  He
       helped bring Wake Forest out from the doldrums to being an
       contender in the ACC coastal conference.

       Just heard the news myself:

       Not surprised at all. The guy was incredible as a DC and I would
       have loved to see us give him a shot as a head coach. Zero doubt
       he'll get a P5 head coaching job soon. Not all good coordinators
       make good head coaches, but I'd have loved to give him a chance.
       Oh well.

       Four more years of up the middle three times then punt .  Throw
       in the occasional 15 yard pass  once in awhile.  Scary offense.

       This is quite funny. Unfortunately it’s also quite true.

       Saw where they just named the captains. The only "head
       scratcher" to me is Isiah White and not because he's not a good
       ball player- but because he was academically ineligible all
       season and to "reward" him a "C" on his chest just stinks for
       the others who played all year. Gotta be some other seniors
       instead, but the players pick them so...

       It's not funny and it is getting quite old with the ground and
       pound and up the gut. Coach P is so predictable and he isnt
       fooling any team. He could get away with it once in a while
       against mediocre teams, but once he goes up against tougher
       competition, he gets rolled.

       I am really impressed with what Shawn has done with basketball
       and the other scholarship sports. His decision to extend Priore
       middle of the season was bizarre and I don't really understand
       it. There is so much money thrown around college football at
       mediocre to bad college coaches (Exhibit A: Chris Ash at
       Rutgers; Exhibit B: Bobby Petrino at Louisville).
       There are so many talented kids on this team and I'd love to see
       them take the next step. Our quarterback situation is going to
       be really interesting- if we can get a good FBS transfer (which
       should not be too tough honestly), that could be huge.
       I'm a sucker so I'll keep out holding hope for this team to take
       that next step towards greatness. I'd love for football to take
       charge but I don't see it barring big changes in how this
       program does things.

       We have Fields, we have some talented young guys entering the
       program at that position so that's good, but I think we're stuck
       in a chicken vs the egg situation. We get fairly talented guys,
       but we can't develop them so we wind up with inconsistent
       quarterback play, but since we can't develop guys, we're not
       going to be attractive to the FBS transfers. We'll be stuck in a
       bad spot until we can develop talent at that position. By
       finally getting dual threat guys like Fields, Zamot, etc. at the
       position, we can complement our already run heavy offense with a
       mobile quarterback, while at the same time masking our inability
       to develop QB talent!! Brilliant I have to say  ;D
       Jokes aside, that's really how I see it. Best we can hope for in
       the near term is that the running threat a mobile QB brings
       opens up some passing opportunities for whoever we put back
       there. We're not going to develop them into a great passer, so
       they might as well be able to scramble and move the ball with
       their feet. I can't recall SBU ever having a true dual threat
       quarterback in the past. Didn't fit with Priore's traditional
       style of offense in the past anyhow.

       I'm not even sure what to say any more about this "beating a
       dead horse" topic. Coach P is not going to ever change, and the
       QB situation is going to be the same as Carbone for the next 4
       years. It is what it is. We all know what needs to be done to
       take this program to the upper echelons of the FCS, and it's not
       this current coaching staff. Oh, well. Thank god it's over and
       now we can focus 100% on Basketball..

       im more bullish than most of you guys.  even though it's just HS
       film, i liked what i saw from sanchez and zamot.  coach P has
       surprised us in the past- last year for example, and to some
       extent this year.  sure we can improve at certain positions but
       we had a pretty good year.  so much of it is expectations. GO SB
