While I am not offering answers, it seems counter productive to me to make drive by remarks about recruits and saying that the fish rots from the head in latin. Same goes with the heckling/harassing of Coach Sowell by a spectator at one of the games.

Those are not drive by remarks laxpere.....oh they've been there for about 7 years....staples of scorn fans and alum from prior coaches past and how the AD kicked out an outstanding mentor and coach, like throwing the baby out with the bath water. I understand where their pain comes. The new coach also does things differently....I'll leave it at that but keep in mind they also have a point.

Youth and Tecumseh,
Both of you seem unhappy with Coach Sowell and consistently question his leadership even though the results have been solid over the past five years. You are entitled to your opinions, but I sure hope that both of you don’t condone a person or group heckling/harassing Coach Sowell before/during/after any game no matter how mad/upset that person or group is about how the coach’s predecessor was treated. It seems crazy for anyone to hang the former coach’s acrimonious exit on Coach Sowell. I hope that both of you agree that those people should fight the former coach’s battle with the AD, not his replacement.
Despite the rough patch over the past month, I am not blaming Coach Sowell. As someone once said, coaches win practices and players win games. The Navy 2019 team is young and too many metal errors really hurt last week, but the future is very bright. It will be a challenge on the road, but I will be cheering for the Mids to step up and break out of the recent funk this week.
