Klein would have looked better than Dumbo if he had skipped the game and had ChatGTP call the plays.

In short, he really wasn't that good.

Lost at tu
Lost to the eventual runner up to the Natty
I am satisfied with the progress Elko and Company made in 2 years since the eviction of Jimbo.

I think some are just scared of regression. Elko has earned some grace at this point, but to be fair both seasons have ended pretty badly.

But we were playing meaningful games in Late November/December

Most seasons end badly I am just glad the seasons weren't "over" while it is still October

I'm in the "be careful what you wish for" camp with losing Klein.

Even in some of the games we won, Reed looked downright bad. Time will tell.

I agree I think that's why Elko has earned the benefit of the doubt, he's the first coach in a long time to be playing truly meaningful games the last week of the season and he did it both of his first years. Expectations get raised when that happens though and I hope we continue to progress

We lost games that we just were not prepared to win. Are losses ever meaningful? I'd argue no.

Elko had a great year, though. Especially the extension…

Keep getting us to CFPs and I am happy, regardless of the outcome. Take that for at least another 2 years before complaining any further.

I forget 2025 was only Elko's 2nd Season, the first being a complete "Overhaul" of coaches and players.
Recruiting classes are continuing to upgrade BIGTIME (27' Class wow). I think (hope) coaches are being upgraded since the 11'th hr, have-to-find a coaching staff ASAP, as well. Looking more & more like a true football program.

I was not a fan of Klein and am glad he is gone...but a good amount of the blame has to go to Reed. Klein didn't force Reed to make awful decisions and turn the ball over constantly down the stretch.

Offensive penalties, specifically procedures killed us … who gets blame for those?
