I'm not seeing a lot on their roster that passes the eye test on the field for what they should be doing. You don't fix a bad roster in one year.
Not disagreeing with RM firing but you can also see it with historical G5 power, USM. With new FBS programs popping up in their recruiting backyard, the Eagles no longer have the recruiting prowess they once had before USA, TxSt and UTSA came on the FBS scene to soak up 66-190 scholarship athletes, depending on how you measure.

The 6 new FBS programs (App, CCU, GaSt, GS, ODU and UNCC) within roughly 6 hours of their campus have taken 132 scholarship players out of the talent pool. I’d say they were impacted the most by all the move ups out of any FBS program in the country.
Very likely.

I was just about the say the same thing. Its too much talent out here for all those schools mentioned. Our problem is we had and keep a very bad coach for way too long. This is the first year in 5 years we had a full 85 scholarship roster. We inly have about 5-10 seniors and only about 2 of those even start. Our O-line is the worst we've ever had. Coach Houston has a long way to go so we are going to suck for a little while longer.
GSU pick 6!!!
Now up 42-16 with 13m to go
GSU gives up fake FG TD after drilling Ahlers several times. 42-23 Panthers
The kid that ran in that fake FG has some wheels
Wow...ECU TD on blocked punt. Missed XP
42-29
Elliott decides to punch it in instead of taking the knee. 49-29 GSU with 23 secs left
Our defense gave up 0 points.
Their special team scored 29? Inexcusable.

Impressive performance on both sides of the ball. Great win!
Every AAC team has new programs popping up in their footprint. There's zero reason for ECU to basically look like a mediocre FCS team.
(Good performance by State even considering.)
Georgia St is a sleeping giant. All they need is a real breakthrough year.
Good win State! Keep it going until Nov. 28!

They’ll need to change conference affiliation first. Getting out of the east in the Sun Belt with your jaw connected ain’t easy.

That was one ugly game. Glad to see a win over any AAC though.
We gave three turnovers and still beat them down. I like our chances.
