Yup. As many have said, we need to get better. 

But can we get better when the HC endorses what has happened this year by not making any changes.  Pretty disappointed in Schmidt - Isaac is gonna Isaac all day long.  he learned nothing during the season and seems incapable of making adjustments.  The games we piss away next year are on Schmidt.

If you’ve got JMU and the points it’s a nail biter now. 48-26

Credit to the Dukes for covering today.  I'm glad they didn't quit.  Last three possessions were all TDs.  I was scared Lanning was going to run it up to 40 plus spread zone when it was at 48-13.

It still comes down to Valley and Big Sky in national championship game. Then you look at Big Sky Montana State mirrors a Valley team what do expect with Vigen coming from NDSU and Boll coaching tree. The National Championship game should be very competitive both teams are physical on lines of the ball and both have talented skill players. The one area that Illinois State has one advantage is at quarterback I believe but MS has to be feeling the third time has to be charm. I still think it will come to turnovers and who runs ball better.  I would have preferred if Montana would have been there it would have been a fun with new teams in the championship.

Of course we can get better, we must. 
I’m not sure I have read or heard that Schmidt has “endorsed” anything. I have no idea what Isaac will do, nor what he learned, nor what he will learn between now and next year if he is here. 
All results are the ultimate responsibility of the HC.

I'd really like to see us hire a QB coach with experience, unless we have someone on staff that I'm not aware of.
