Breaking down the team
The Good: There is a lot of excitement around this team. With the addition of Jason Gibson as head coach, who has had plenty of success coaching professional indoor football, and the expansion of the roster to around 70 players, there is a hope that the team can return to where it was a few years ago when it was among the best in AISA.
The Bad: There’s still just a lot of unknowns about the roster and how well it will adjust to its new systems in the first year under Gibson. Does it have the talent to consistently improve from Day 1 to turn itself into a playoff contender by the end of the season?
Our take: While it’s too early to guess wins and losses, Gibson has a proven ability as a coach at a professional level, and his energy and excitement is infectious. The guess is that this team slowly but surely becomes much closer to being very good than it does to the alternative.
