You're wrong.

Clark had about a year and a half, two seasons, to prepare for last year. He researched previous teams who had come back, like Marshall after the plane crash and SMU after the death penalty. SMU came back with a team full of 18 and 19 year olds, and got mashed for years. Clark knew that he needed to recruit a solid core of JUCO and transfer players, so that didn't happen.

The staff carefully researched players before recruiting them. They talked to college and high school coaches about the guys that they were interested in. There are a lot of kids who have injuries late in recruiting, or who had academic issues. UAB was able to recruit the injured knowing that they would have time to rehab, or that there would be time to get guys academics straightened out.

A lot of our success is because of that careful planning. We also got the benefit of guys transferring in from other programs, because we had the coin of the realm to offer: playing time.

UAB is not winning because the team is older. We're winning because we recruited smart and because the team is well coached.

As to "UAB will crater after these seniors are gone", you can bet that the coaches know what we have and where the weaknesses are. If there are true voids to fill, I think that the last two seasons will make UAB very attractive to the better players (HS and JUCO) at those positions. We'll go after JUCOs for need positions. We're in full high school recruiting mode, and for the first time in our history we have a coach who won lots of HS games and championships in state. Clark is well respected by HS coaches here, and we're getting better recruits than we ever have.

Oh, and if you look at last night's game, Tyler Johnston got his first college start. His QB rating for yesterday was 96.1 - the #1 QBR for the day. In his first start. Our star RB is a sophomore. We'll be weaker in places, particularly OL, but that's how this game works.

Sorry guys, we're not going away, but if thinking so makes you feel better about next year, well... whatever gets you through the night.

Because the NCAA relaxed the transfer rules, scholarship rules and academic rules for UAB. This article stated at least 1 CUSA School express concern that UAB was given subustantial recruiting advantage by the NCAA


"Because C-USA wanted UAB back without a transition period, the NCAA waived a rule requiring FBS teams to have at least 90 percent of their 85 scholarships awarded on a rolling two-year average. UAB signed 37 players in 2016, causing at least one C-USA school to express concern that the NCAA is allowing UAB to oversign and receive recruiting advantages."

"NCAA is allowing the school to apply for individual waivers of an extension on their eligibility clock."

"One big reason UAB could sign so many jucos is the NCAA won't start counting the Blazers' Academic Progress Rate scores until September 2017, according to Ingram. APR tracks players' progress toward their degree and can result in penalties for a team if it doesn't maintain a minimum score."

"If too many UAB players flunk out between now and next September, "it doesn't hurt us from an APR perspective," Ingram says. "It gives us a little more latitude to [sign junior college players] than we would under normal circumstances."

A lot of the fans are done. I'll tell you that much.

The team has just steadily regressed ever since Wilson got here, and the guy takes zero responsibility for it. Every press conference goes something like "we put the players in the position to succeed, they just didn't execute." Last week he compared himself and our current situation to Dabo Swinney's third year at Clemson. They went 10-4. Nice try though.

We are dead last in total offense and in the bottom 10 in the country in pretty much every offensive category. We have a 3-QB rotation. Our freshman QB, who has started the last two games, gets subbed out every time we have a 3rd-and-short or goal line situation, despite being the biggest QB we have. And then we always just hand the ball off in those situations anyway. It truly just makes no damn sense at this point. We also ran a tight end reverse last night. Probably the first time that's ever been done, so at least he's making history I guess. It went for -6 yards, in case you were wondering.

Some fans are genuinely concerned that he's purposely tanking the team at this point. That's how questionable his decisions have been lately. I personally think he got in way over his head, making the jump from RB coach to head football coach and he's just completely lost.

Did I mention that he's also the second-highest paid coach in the conference? $1.1 million a year.

I hate to say it. But, this is what happens when you have success too quickly. When programs do this, they tend to generate a lot of fair weather fans that bail as soon as things head a little south.

You guys are the big dog in San Antonio (as long as ICW stays down). Your program will take a hit in the short term. But, you will rebound as you are in the perfect market for success vs competition.

In the meantime, expect attendance to take a hit. But, you will eventually develop some real long term fans.

A lot of truth in your post, but I'm not sure we're the big dog in San Antonio right now. UIW (University of the Incarnate Word) is having a good year so far (5-4 in FCS) after going 1-11 last year. They have a new coach this season, Eric Morris, who was the OC at Texas Tech prior. He's turned their program around in one year, and I honestly question whether we would be able to beat them at this stage in the season because they've definitely improved as the year has progressed and we just keep wetting the bed.

La Tech fans are upset that UAB shut down its program and could sign more recruits. Those recruits had to wait two additional years to play.
This is the same fanbase that literally BEGGED C-USA to become a member because travel cost were killing them and if it continued they may have to drop some sports programs.
If UAB continues to be successful and Clark stays until 2022. I don't believe you will have to worry about us. I'm NOT sorry we have a team and your welcome for UAB's support for La Tech to join C-USA.

I get what you're saying, and agree with the general idea that losing, and especially losing big, will hurt attendance with the fair-weather fans. But from my perspective, it's been mostly the diehard fans who have turned on Wilson at this point. The casuals have bought into the talking points of the season ("young team", "rebuild", "tough OOC", etc), and haven't really noticed the multitude of questionable decisions by the coaching staff. There's also a subset of fans (and our most outspoken big-money donor) with a holier-than-thou attitude who like to say that anyone who dares question our coaching staff isn't a "true fan."

To me this is the most frustrating part of following UTSA fanbase. I agree don't attack the players, but the coaching staff and program overall are fair game.

Yet there a few that are coming out and saying that if you attack the program you are not a fan of the team. Which is total BS, in fact its the opposite. SO many of us want to see success or at least improvement from week to week. I think most agreed that this would be a 3-4 win program. But its how they are playing and the lack of improvement from week to week that is hurting this perception.

I think we will take a step back next year, but I don't believe we will implode like some on here are suggesting.

Of the 37 guys leaving, not all contribute or are even on scholarship. With all the JUCOs and transfers we have been able to RS a ton of younger players.

According to the roster on the official website, we have 21 juniors (true and RS) on our roster now along with 31 sophomores (22 RS, 9 true). So we will have 52 upperclassman next year, not counting any JUCO or transfers in this coming class.

You just can’t replace 37 graduating players with 25 signees. You are going to be at least 12 short and that doesn’t include season ending injury and players that leave for whatever reason.

is it 25 signee's or 25 scholarships?
As said above not all 37 seniors are on scholarship. I dont know the amount of walkons.

we will be fine on numbers.

Go look at the join dates on the UAB posters in this thread. I only saw a couple that had less than say five years in, and that gets us back to a Garrick McGee team.

I know you guys are hurting. It looks like you're going to have a young QB make his first start against this UAB D. That will not be pretty. I have a ton of respect for USM, and as a long time UAB guy there are not many games that I'd rather win. I don't mean to sound overconfident, but this team is on a mission. We have reasons to be confident. It feels weird but I could get used to it.

Oh, and if you look at last night's game, Tyler Johnston got his first college start. His QB rating for yesterday was 96.1 - the #1 QBR for the day. In his first start. Our star RB is a sophomore. We'll be weaker in places, particularly OL, but that's how this game works.

Sorry guys, we're not going away, but if thinking so makes you feel better about next year, well... whatever gets you through the night.
