ask anyone who attended the jv/freshmen games and they could tell you there was a huge difference in heart and passion from the kids led by the assistant coaches. Also, the 3wks the coach was suspended things we more serious and the team played hard. Ultimately, due to injuries, the talent was very, very thin. Lost 2 starting o'lineman in the first 3wks, at a small school this is a killer. There are kids walking the hall and on the team that did not buy into deaton. Dont know why becasue he was a great person.
