Colgate

Back-to-back PL champs 2016 and 2017.... but need to get back to relevance in the national FCS scene.

This program has solid players, but it doesn't matter. They destroy talent. You could give this staff NFL talent and they'd find a way to lose to Colgate. Never in my life have I seen such incompetence.

Do we have a freshman or sophomore stud QB sitting on the bench?

Roster shows these QBs:
Junior - from transfer portal
Junior
Soph - PWO
Soph
Frosh

I’d guess 5 full scholarships in the QB room before Beesmer left program.

The bigger question is do we have a coaching staff that can develop a young QB. Higgins’s and Coen’s staff developed young QBs. This staff has developed no one.

These QBs look like deer in the headlights. It is truly sad. Kids come to a program with the expectations of being coached up. At Lehigh, they are beat down.

As stated previously, the state of the football program is 100% on Sterrett. He hired Gilmore and has done nothing to address what is a hopeless situation. This only gets fixed when the president addresses the DA problem.

This is a +1000 Hawk. OC seems incapable of developing talent, identifying the qualities of a gameday QB, or scheming to fit personnel. He should have been removed when Coen sadly left. This was a huge mistake. How the heck do you let the QB with the best stats since 2019, who is a legacy of the program, leave for the transfer portal? I know people who played with this young man's father at Lehigh and it is a disgrace what this staff did. Make the DC interim head coach and start fresh on November 21st. That is the only path forward.

If Sterett allows this toxic environment to continue, this program could be set back for years to come. I have seen it at other schools.

Does he even want the HC job?

If he does I am ok with that

But if close to retirement it might be easier for him to pick up the phone and start a Coaching search
You really want Sterrett to do the next search after this colossal screw up. I'm still not convinced he will concede that this hire was a epic failure just yet. Unless we go 0-11, which is a real possibility, I get this sinking feeling that he is willing to ride it out until the end of Gilmore's contract.
In a way, we are 0-11. Lehigh has played 11 consecutive games without a win.

And 7 of those 11 are against PL opponents. Time to go.

I think 11 straight losses is the record. During ww2 we had a tie one year then 5 straight losses. Next year 0-5. But won the first game the next year.

I think?

Good news is we have 33 to go before we tie Columbia's losing record of 44.

I'd say most of us deplore quitters, but would there be a benefit to Gilmore and Brisson exiting now? Resigning effective Nov. 21 or?

Lehigh has had some humiliating losses the past few years. But not scoring a touchdown in four games? Losing 11 in a row?

You've got to feel really bad for the players -- and those committing now who want the Lehigh academic perks -- who thought they were going to play at a decent FCS level, but who collectively might not be able to beat a mediocre D2 or good D3 team.

Who is the legacy QB that entered transfer portal? Did I miss something-When did that happen?
