Methinks the problem lies at the top.

I'd give Morel one more year with the condition that he changes every coach on the defensive side of the ball!

Sorry but if Ridings, Stambaugh, and Riordan are retained, Wabash isn't serious about football.  As long as Dietz and Mannering are at Depauw...Wabash will not win another conference title.  Morel talks about putting a "tough" team on the field but he coaches soft.  The tough, aggressive, nasty program resides in Greencastle!

When Liam leaves, I would not be shocked to go below .500.

No I think we will be all right in the years ahead.  We have a 24 year-old freshman quarterback who transferred from a D1 program on the sidelines.  He's got a legit arm and size.  There's a lot of speed returning, the defensive coaches just have to turn them loose and become more aggressive in their calls.

Longtime lurker.  Sorry but after watching 4 games, the defensive struggles are 100% on the schemes and the coach.  We have the athletes to be very good on that side of the ball but aren't put in position to be successful.  As far as being aggressive, I don't see that mindset coming from the staff on either side of the ball...as evident of faircatching every punt and kickoff.  In Morel's eyes WAF means Wabash Always Faircatches!
