The Western Carolina Catamounts football program represents Western Carolina University (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Carolina_University). The team competes in the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Division_I_FCS) and are members of the Southern Conference (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Conference). Since the school's first football team was fielded in 1931, the Catamounts have a record of 341-502-23, have made two postseason appearances, and have played in one national championship game.
Western Carolina plays its home games at the 13,742 seat Bob Waters Field at E. J. Whitmire Stadium (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Waters_Field_at_E._J._Whitmire_Stadium) located on the campus in Cullowhee, North Carolina (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cullowhee,_North_Carolina).

Kerwin Bell is the coach of Western Carolina

My Western Carolina story:  

My dad grew up in Waynesville, NC, just north of the Sylva/Cullowhee metroplex.
I have been all over that beautiful area hiking and fishing over the years as we made at least a yearly trip there.

My house near UAMS on Capitol was broken into, and several things were stolen.  A month later, it was broken into again. I guess they thought we had replaced the stereo and TV they stole (we hadn't, as we were med students in the middle of finals and didn't need them anyway).  They stole clothes and hats during that break-in.  After the second break-in, the LR police caught the guy entering another nearby house.  I was asked to come to the station to fill out some forms and potentially ID the suspect.  The officer showed me a mugshot of the guy and asked if I'd seen him around the neighborhood.  I said no, but he's wearing my Western Carolina sweatshirt....
Not too many brothas in LR wearing Catamounts gear.
The cop went to the jail, took it off him, and returned it to me.  It stank to high heaven.  I threw it in the trash on my way out of the station.

Got out of the army after WW2 at Camp Robinson and didn't want to go back to Western NC and grow apples or tobacco like most of his family.   (We visited every year around the holidays and sometimes twice a year when he took us to Carolina Beach in the summer )

He stayed here and finished school at LR JC on the GI Bill (eventually was UALR)  He eventually worked as a trooper for Ark State Police (appointed by the Govenor back in those days) around Hot Springs before opening a nursery and landscaping business in NLR that lasted 35 years. 

He retired back in Waynesville   I was in residency at Emory in Atlanta then and spent a bunch of weekends up in those mountains. 
He eventually moved back to NLR when his health started to decline. 
He passed away 12 years ago but had some great stories.

Thought it was probably military but figured Air Force/Jacksonville rather than Army.

I live in the Sand Hills region of NC now but the NW area of the state is gorgeous and a lot of the mountainous parts haven't changed much since the Revolutionary War.

Mr. Pittman himself just said in the press conference that he didn't see any good reason for the game to be at 7:00 and his players not get home until 2:00 in the morning. So they moved it up instead of back.

Is Gumms hurt? I thought he was supposed to be a shoe in as the week 1 starter at TE.

At LB, I'm not surprised that Jaheim Thomas is starting over Grier. Thomas wrecked shit at Cincinnati last year.

And look at this secondary:
NB - Lorando Johnson
CB - Dwight McGlothern
S - Alfahiym Walcott
S - Jayden Johnson
CB - Jaheim Singletary

Both the Baylor kids and the Georgia transfer, who's been touted coming out of camp. I'm a little surprised to see Jayden Johnson there since he seemed to get picked on a lot last year, but he was competing against Clark, so......

Great write-up as always, but man was it like getting a bucket of ice water dumped on your head.

Boils down to Enos' style requires us to have talent comparable to the teams we play, and we usually do not. Also Enos' style requires KJ to be better and more precise in short/mid-range throws, and that has been his weakness thus far. Also Rocket's style might not work as well in this offense as it did last year, so that also (potentially) blows.

Brandon Allen took a huge leap forward under Enos, but then again we also lost to Toledo at home, and not in a shootout.

I'm more nervous about the season now than I was before reading that.

Same.

I'm not even a third of the way through it and it's definitely a turd in the kool-aid bowl.

He seemed pretty bullish on Enos when he was hired, so this feels a bit like a tempering of expectations given our talent level and the number of newcomers we have at T, WR, and TE.

Post by: animal on Aug 28, 2023, 05:08 PM
Adam Ford has always asserted that Arkansas' best case scenario to win football games is to find ways to out scheme the others in the SEC because we aren't going to out recruit them. That's at all 3 phases of the game too. He's being a bit dark here because deep down he knows what happens here whenever we go down this road of trying to square up and play it straight. We never ever ever seem to have the mens for sustained success. The dynamic has changed a bit because the NIL/portal is redefining the order of things. Being organized, willing, and able to fork over money is very important to effectively replenishing the ranks. Cap that off with taking these kids and getting them a showcase to the NFL is going to only make that better. A guy like Drew Sanders probably would have been a low mileage linebacker prospect picked in the later rounds had he stayed at Bama. As it was he made himself into a early Day 2 pick if I recall correctly.

The emphasis on high school development/recruiting has been relaxed greatly and to that point we are going to continue to see if our coaching staff's mettle in player personnel...finding and filling need positions. Linebackers have traditionally been a terrible position to recruit because it's so hard to know which guys grow into linebackers, which guys grow into DE's and which guys are just fucking linebackers. Some of these guys are just slow safeties. What if you could avoid all those misses by simply figuring on going to the portal? Well that's going to happen. Figure out which positions are higher probability for development vs the positions that have a high flop rate.

I for one believe we could teeter on the cusp of Danny Ford levels of success/failure under Pittman for another 4 or so years leading up to his retirement. Danny's task was to make Arkansas into an SEC roster. Sound familiar? Ford had flirted with success in a time in which Alabama was down...LSU was yet to wake up from it's slumber. The SEC West as a whole wasn't nearly what it is today top to bottom. Still yet at the time it certainly seemed like a tall task. That gap feels wider now than it was then but I do deep down feel that Arkansas can find some moderate levels of success. We've seen it with Petrino...Pittman is no Petrino. But maybe we can pull together some 10+ win seasons if things fall right.

Post by: Doc Hogaday on Aug 28, 2023, 05:23 PM
We caught lightning in a bottle w/ Bobby and JL BF'd it. As much as I'd love to, no need to rehash.

Linebackers are cool and all but where it's made in the SEC is both sides of the line and we don't have the home recruiting base to support sustained success there. High schools round here want to play glorified 7-on-7 and while I'm sure that's entertaining to folks that are going to drive thru Sonic for tots after the game, that doesn't feed the flagship.

Be cool if we had an HC that specialized in OL play.

Our recruiting is getting better every year under Pittman. This is our best roster to date, top to bottom IMO.

The guy's reputation in the business precedes him in recruiting assistant coaches. And he seems to give them the freedom to do their jobs.


This is a good formula. Time will tell, but we can have the jimmies and X's and O's.

I do think the portal helps us more than it hurts us. Other than Domineck and Ketron, not sure what we'll miss. OL still a concern. Hopefully S&C coach was a big part of that and we make strides.

Post by: bigpig on Aug 28, 2023, 06:02 PM
Random thought I had.

Here are the number of head coaches in the modern era (Broyles and beyond) that made it to their fifth year here...

Broyles
Holtz
Hatfield
Ford
Nutt
Petrino*
Bielema
Pittman*

Pittman is very likely to join this list. It would take an epic collapse for him to be pressured to resign/retire. Petrino technically made it but he never coached a game in his fifth year. Still, he would have been here five seasons if not for off-field circumstances. Let's go ahead and include both of them on the list. That's eight coaches in over sixty years.

How many coaches have we had in that time frame that didn't make it to year five (not counting interim coaches)?...

Crowe
Morris

I just think it's pretty incredible that, for all our struggles getting over the hump for the past...generation, we can't be accused of not giving coaches time to either succeed or fail. Eight coaches lasted at least five years; only two did not.



I have no point to any of this.

Carry on.

Quote from: Doc Hogaday on Aug 28, 2023, 05:37 PMI do think the portal helps us more than it hurts us. Other than Domineck and Ketron, not sure what we'll miss. OL still a concern. Hopefully S&C coach was a big part of that and we make strides.

Pittman was asked today about his process with integrating the portal guys, and he straight up said he fucked up last year by working Haselwood with the 1's immediately instead of making him earn it.

Granted, he's said that before about Haselwood as an example of something he'd do differently if he had the chance, but I found it interesting that he went there pretty directly on a fairly benign question. Makes me think the Haselwood situation was what drove off Ketron despite the fact he was going to be a featured receiver this year.

I also found it interesting he called out Haselwood explicitly. I have a hard time believing Drew Sanders was told to earn his spot considering he was the best football player on our roster the minute he hit campus.   

I'm hoping Sam's learning on the job portion of his tenure is behind him and he has a some asshole SEC coach in him. I can't envision a world where Kirby Smart would play a broken down COVID senior linebacker with no range so he could break* a tackle record when his backup is light years better.

Quote from: animal on Aug 28, 2023, 05:08 PMAdam Ford has always asserted that Arkansas' best case scenario to win football games is to find ways to out scheme the others in the SEC because we aren't going to out recruit them. That's at all 3 phases of the game too. He's being a bit dark here because deep down he knows what happens here whenever we go down this road of trying to square up and play it straight. We never ever ever seem to have the mens for sustained success. The dynamic has changed a bit because the NIL/portal is redefining the order of things. Being organized, willing, and able to fork over money is very important to effectively replenishing the ranks. Cap that off with taking these kids and getting them a showcase to the NFL is going to only make that better. A guy like Drew Sanders probably would have been a low mileage linebacker prospect picked in the later rounds had he stayed at Bama. As it was he made himself into a early Day 2 pick if I recall correctly.

The emphasis on high school development/recruiting has been relaxed greatly and to that point we are going to continue to see if our coaching staff's mettle in player personnel...finding and filling need positions. Linebackers have traditionally been a terrible position to recruit because it's so hard to know which guys grow into linebackers, which guys grow into DE's and which guys are just fucking linebackers. Some of these guys are just slow safeties. What if you could avoid all those misses by simply figuring on going to the portal? Well that's going to happen. Figure out which positions are higher probability for development vs the positions that have a high flop rate.

I for one believe we could teeter on the cusp of Danny Ford levels of success/failure under Pittman for another 4 or so years leading up to his retirement. Danny's task was to make Arkansas into an SEC roster. Sound familiar? Ford had flirted with success in a time in which Alabama was down...LSU was yet to wake up from it's slumber. The SEC West as a whole wasn't nearly what it is today top to bottom. Still yet at the time it certainly seemed like a tall task. That gap feels wider now than it was then but I do deep down feel that Arkansas can find some moderate levels of success. We've seen it with Petrino...Pittman is no Petrino. But maybe we can pull together some 10+ win seasons if things fall right.

Don't know if I agree with the part about the high school recruiting being "relaxed." We have a ton of 4 stars committed for next year.  Yeah, I know they aren't 5 stars, but it looks to be a strong class.  Remember, there just aren't many 5 stars out there.

Back to the game, Pittman shed a bit of light on the 2 deep in his presser yesterday.

T - they really like Devon Manuel at tackle, but he's been banged up all camp and Chamblee has been good in his reps.

TE - Pittman made it sound like 4 of the 5 TEs listed on the depth chart will play (sounded a bit like Ty Washington may be the odd man out). Sherman is a good blocker, Hasz is the best of the group at doing everything well.

DL - they have 8ish starting caliber linemen, which gives them flexibility in packages and rotations. 

LB - Paul would be the starter but he's banged up. He'll still play. Thomas is really good. In 2 linebacker sets we'll see a lot of Thomas and Paul.

DB - Clark has played a lot of ball but Jayden Johnson has been good in practice. The Georgia transfer is legit. We're much faster in the secondary than we were last year.

On integrating portal guys - been focusing more on scheme and cultural fit, and they have to have tape. Have to make the portal guys earn their spot, and he fucked with Haselwood last year running him with the 1's immediately without making him earn his spot.

Pittman has pretty much always said that portal guys need to have some tape. In other words if you couldn't play for the last team odds are we aren't going to get something they couldn't.

I think some exceptions are made when there is some familiarity with the player.

Our WRs are mainly dudes that have proven themselves at a lower level...hard to know if they'll hack it against SEC guys but I feel pretty good going into the season. I don't know that we have a young pup on the roster to get excited about? Seems like most of the rec types are older established guys. Sategna is listed as a or with Wilson...seems interesting but maybe there is an injury there. That stick slot rec in this system is basically where Drew Morgan made a living if I'm not mistaken

pittman said all six wr will get plenty of snaps this saturday. word is kj has gotten the most comfortable with armstrong, and the db in interviews say teslaa catches everything.

his comment about setegna a couple of pressers ago was he "needs to learn to be a football player." i take that as maybe be a little more physical, as in blocking. supposedly the 180 they list him at is very generous. i know he's easy to spot in the practice videos when he's with the rest of the group.

A lot was made last year about Georgia's "bloody Tuesdays" because apparently their Tuesday full pads practices are physical as hell.

Can't play with the big boys until you practice like them. We looked pretty soft and slow last year. Regardless of all the fluff reports coming out from fall camp about this player or that one, the only reports that really give me hope are the talk about us being faster and more physical on the whole than last year.
