PINE BLUFF, Arkansas -- Arkansas-Pine Bluff head coach Monte Coleman remains adamant his team is focused on the final three games of the season. He’s said the same thing for weeks; all that has changed is obviously the number of games remaining.
While his team hopefully isn’t already looking forward to 2016, fans certainly couldn’t be blamed if their focus has shifted to what they hope isn’t a fourth straight disappointing season after winning the 2012 Southwestern Athletic Conference championship.
Ineligibility ruined the 2013 campaign before it even started, last season was marred by a young defense that couldn’t slow down, let alone stop, any offense it faced, and this year will be remembered for the revolving door at quarterback.
The most cynical of fans will wonder what issue could befall next season’s Golden Lion team, while simultaneously hoping that at least the QB situation will have been resolved.
While the position isn’t the be-all and end-all for success — see the previous two seasons when stalwart Ben Anderson was a junior and senior — it goes a long way toward keeping a team competitive.
