Dec 07 2041: Pearce, Bears search for answers after dreadful start to conference play - by LemonPepper on November 8th, 2024

Stagnant offense and turnover issues have Bears fans wondering if Coach Pearce is the right man for the head role.

After a successful first season in charge and impressive 36-9 record, Coach Doug Pearce is now 29-28 over his last two seasons.

According to sources around the program, there is concern that Pearce won with his predecessor’s players and has not landed the top talent that his recruiting acumen had fans hoping for.

Sophomore Malcolm Wills has struggled with turnovers while Freshman DJ Marshall has been battling injuries and has yet to have the impact this year that fans had hoped for.

Speaking to reporters after another home loss to Seton Hall, Pearce did mention that practice will be seen as an open competition and that a change in rotation could come sooner rather than later.

The impact of these changes is yet to be seen, but at this point in the season, it looks like UCA could be returning to LL3 for the first time in 15 years.
