Not sure what to make of this Zizzer team. They have some nice pieces. But it does not seem like they are going to put it together this year. Coming into the year I thought they had a decent shot at winning their conference and their district. But lots of things hurting them at the moment. Depth remains an issue. And I think the natives are starting to grow restless with Coach Wyatt. He is a really good coach, but he is not going to bend for anyone. And I think that is starting to wear on people. Curious to see what happens the rest of the season and moving
In what areas does he need to bend though?
This is the least talented team WP has had in over a decade.
The 2016 team that went 5-6 still had more weapons than this group does.
The OL has been a liability the majority of the season and have no depth, and they don’t have the speed they’ve had the last decade at the skill positions.
We all know with the exception of a few programs in Missouri, you’re going to have your up years and down years. That’s just how it works.
The natives can grow restless all they want, outside of maybe 100 people, the natives of WP didn’t care about football until 2014 when they started winning, then suddenly everybody wants to get involved and everyone wants to have an opinion, where were they in 2010? 2011? 2012?
Where where they from 02-09, WP had some good teams those years, but were around .500 most of the time and having to play Poo, Cammy, and Waynesville in their prime years.
Truth is, once WP left the SCA and started playing schools their size and bigger, other than people who were super close to the program and school, the majority of the “WP faithful” stopped giving a crap about the team. They got so butthurt that they weren’t playing their traditional opponents(even though their enrollment was anywhere from 2-5 times bigger).
The amount of games where half the people left in at the end of the 3Q in a home game even in a good game/close game/game that WP won was pitiful.
We all know why football participation is down, it’s because the athletes that aren’t playing football don’t want their feelings hurt, Don’t wanna work in the summer, don’t wanna work in practice, they want to show up and be all “you’re luck I’m even playing, I don’t have to be here”
It’ll be an adjustment, but if they got rid of Wyatt that would be a real shame. Everyone knows he’s not ass kisser and he never will be, the same people that can’t respect that are probably the same ones who’s kids feelings get hurt easily.
