Not sure you are too credible since you don't even know the Coach's name at Mo East. First of all you need to check his resume. If you ask any knowledgeable coach in East Tennessee about your coach, you will find out he is highly thought of. As far as this year, anytime there is a coaching change you have some player attrition especially if they don't wish to work hard.
You have a proven coach who is willing to build a program if people like you would leave him alone. If you question his coaching ability, I suggest you attend a practice and watch him work. East will be in good hands but it will take time. Get rid of the "athletes" that aren't willing to work and work with the young kids that want to play. It will pay off in the long run I bet.
