Antonio James was let go
Wow, kind of hard to believe given all the injuries and the incredible turnaround the defense had under his 1st year. Sounds like he's the scapegoat. I would think the special teams coach would have been 1st in line.https://twitter.com/CoachSamz/status/1861485845368230047
Antonio James was let go
There has to be something more to this than we know. Hill had nothing but praise for James last year and it’s not like the defense was awful. They were pretty young and beset by injuries. They got better as the year went on. Color me shocked…I wouldn’t be surprised to see quite a few transfers on that side of the ball.
Defense was pathetic this year. Last year must’ve had more to do with personnel than with James.
Good for Hill for making a move right away if he felt it needed to be done.

Defense wasn’t great, but they started playing better as the year went on and kept us in games where the offense was struggling (save for SDSU…but SDSU did that to a lot of defenses). They were also down two defensive captains after the first game of the year, sustained quite a few injuries throughout the year (not as bad as the offense thankfully), and were very young in the secondary and on the d-line.
I will say I thought he was a little slow to make adjustments (see Youngstown State), but seems they could have discussed that in the offseason.
Hill obviously gets to do what he thinks is best, but this was a guy you had endless praise for a year ago and made Associate head coach…to flip that fast after a year seems pretty crazy to me.
We are not behind the scenes and not in coaching meetings discussing the weekly game plans so we really don't know what is happening but if history is a gauge Hill doesn't mind making changes if he thinks it will benefit his programDefense was pathetic this year.

Ryan Day will be available - a decent D coach I hear.
First of what I would imagine is going to be more than we’d like.
Edit: Hill is always so secretive with the personnel decisions and the athletic department doesn’t ever announce anything when new coaches are brought in, feels super odd. Maybe Luke will get to it on the end of year interview.

Who wants that loser? I mean, jeeze. He lost to the same school 4 years in a row. 😆

WR Vinson Davis enters the portal
I see NH has recruited a couple of RBs, a couple of O linemen, and a QB. Probably sign some more linemen from the portal.
Allen Middleton hits the portal, was excited about him

Middleton leaving really hurts this receiving corps. I wasn’t as worried about VD leaving knowing we had Middleton…now we’ve lost 3 of our top 4 assuming Lewis doesn’t transfer. I thought he was the likeliest of all to leave 😟
