I do think expectations need to be tempered a little bit. This program has been around for 10 years and in the grand scheme of things that is nothing... most schools have been in FBS longer than KSU has even been a school let alone a University. I'm pretty sure GA State won 1 total game its first 2 FBS seasons and almost got beat by us (FCS) not long ago.
I completely agree with the coordinators... they don't belong in FBS and this should have been figured out WAY before this season. Running the ball 80% of the time will never work. Our facilities are also a huge issue. They need to get moving on them quickly and once you start constantly selling out 5/3 start thinking about expansion or a new stadium. We're going to have to buckle up for a couple years.
Appreciate you checking out the story. I agree that the program's youth does explain a lot, but it also adds to the urgency. The current team would be underdogs against every Owls team post-2016. Don't need immediate bowls and CUSA titles - just need to be moving in the right direction.
Love the point that we're not the only g5 without good nil. That's probably necessary to contend for anything serious, but that's not what fans seem upset about.
Thanks for reading. Yeah, our NIL needs serious help but I see the current state of it as a symptom, not a cause. I would love to see Bohannon and the department be more aggressive and clear about where fans should be spending
