Are you satisfied with what your new(ish) coaches are doing so far? USA, ULL, GS, and CCU all have coaches that weren't fully the guy last year. While Moglia isn't really a new coach per say, I'd like to add him into the discussion.

I haven't been as impressed as I thought I would, though Lunsford is a real surprise. They tried to tell us I guess, lmao. Congrats on a good season so far, Eagle fans.

I'm not sure there were many of us assuring people Lunsford would be great, just not to underestimate how bad Tyson Summers was. I think CCL's done a really good job, but don't give him too much credit, because he's following some really horrendous coaching. It also should be pointed out that being able to get Bob DeBesse was pretty fortunate (thank you, Bob Davie for firing him).

Not ready to give up on Steve Campbell yet. I think the jags are going to have to rebuild the offensive line and find a running game.

Napier is the one coach I'll eat crow over. He might have a case over Lunsford because he just doesn't have the same talent level on defense.

Not overly surprised at what Coastal has done. There's a reason GS fans wanted Jamey Chadwell instead of Tyson Summers.

All in all, the coaching in this conference across the board is better than the start of 2017.

I'm going to say of the new coaches:

Lunsford: A (We have our energy back for the first time in a while. Things are still a work in progress and it's obvious in our last 3 games)
Napier: A (Has done a great job getting ULL back on track and I fully expect the ULL/AState game to be a slug fest. I have ULL winning)
Campbell: B+ (Sort of pick up where the previous coach let off. Things are progressing in the right direction though.)
Moglia: B+ (I think having Moglia back has really helped the chants this year. They aren't in the conversation for the top spot in the East yet, but still being relatively new to the FBS with a lot of goals still to achieve will help keep their momentum moving forward.)

I'm giving Lunsford an A+! There's not a single category we haven't improved in.

Correct thread title: "Georgia Southern fans - Grade Lundsford"

I'm just going to grade our coach, because I haven't paid enough detailed attention to the other programs to give a fair evaluation on them.

Moglia: C

He get's a C after whoopin' current CUSA leader UAB?

Dang.

I like the direction that Napier has the program going. We are not there yet, but I like what he has done so far. I like the list of recruits that are committed, but they still have to get them signed. If they compete well this weekend against Arkansas State, it will be a bonus. I will be happy with 100% effort for 4 quarters.

So far I will grade the staff at 95.

I'm going to give Campbell a C+. We still have penalties and tackling problems that we have had the past few seasons, but I knew that wouldn't go away overnight. We have had a number of injuries on defense. On offense, our starting qb Davis transfers right before spring game our all conference LT decides to leave the team. Orth has a done a good job for someone that didn't have any experience. Our Oline needs to be able to open holes for the backs. Our teams doesn't quit despite our record. We are going surprise someone this season. It will interesting to see what this new staff can recruit and develop the existing players.

You can make any narrative you want sound good by cherry picking one game.

My guess is that you haven’t watched anywhere close to as much Coastal football as I have this year.

Not new but because he sucks I am giving Withers an F.

You're guess is right. Oh well. Sucks

I noticed that in our game and your Troy game that it seems like USA gets a lot of what I call "frustration penalties." It seems like the unsportmanlike calls start coming when the games start slipping away. Was that common under Joey Jones too? It's the main thing I've noticed from those two games.

Those frustration penalties have been there for years since we have been FBS under Joey. Our first couple of years when we started the program we didn't have this, but we were undefeated for our 1st 2 years.

Bryan Brown - A+ Took over defense after Woody and Scott Sloan leaves and the defensive philosophy of bend but don't break appears to be gone. New philosophy is "don't break".

Where did Davis end up? Dallas Davis, correct?

A guy who does this (below - albeit from before GaSt game), deserves better than a “C”. But some in our fan base undervalue the wins vs UAB (they beat themselves), and Louisiana (maybe bc of slow start)... Inconsistency comes with youth, and especially lack of depth (4 defensive starters out vs GaSt). For some, it’s not enough to have bowl eligibility staring you in the face your first full unrestricted year as an FBS team...

Reality is that there are no CCU fans that are dismissing the ULL win. That’s a made up line.

It was an impressive win to go on the road and beat you guys. I think it was our most impressive showing of the season.

The win that is most widely acknowledged as better on paper than it was in reality is our UAB win.

Anyone who watched that game with any sense saw what happened. UAB completely imploded in an astoundingly epic way. But a win is a win so we will take it.
