This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Having a new RB coach (Taylor) could be important. by PeteatND

As much as I loved Autry as a player, I never loved the results I saw on the field from his coaching. Guys have been running high, not developing physically, showing poor vision. And suffice it to say his ability to recruit was always in question.

From the very limited amount we were able to see in the spring, I saw much needed physical development (Armstrong's upper body, Tony Jones losing weight), I saw guys running lower and with a better forward lean, and I saw improved vision.

I have suspicions, like many here, that Shanty's system and obsessive focus on the passing game during practice will always mean disappointing results on the ground; the advanced stats in that area have been abysmal throughout his tenure. But I'm hopeful we'll see some positive outcomes from what seems to be a significant coaching upgrade.

I guess we'll see soon enough.
