North Carolina Football Association (NCFA)

Kinston:
After six seasons the Eagles finally let Al Woodall go.  He was 33-39 with Kinston winning the division in 2007.  But every year Kinston seemed to be on the verge of being a great team only to falter and lose a game they should have won.  Now Brian Target comes in with a very experienced coaching staff looking to take Kinston past this invisible barrier.

Statistically Kinston was an excellent team last year ranking 2nd in passing and 3rd in running offense and 5th in both passing and running defense.  The hard part here for Target will be to figure out what is missing.  It does not seem to be talent and so don't look for Kinston to make any big moves during the draft.  They will be building for the future probably working on their defensive and offensive lines.  

Target and his staff will be under a lot of pressure to succeed.  Anything less than a 7-5 record will be thought of as a failure and so I wouldn't be surprised to see Target looking for some good performers from NCFA2 to fill in if he thinks the high talent starters are not giving 100%.  This is a reputation that the players have whether it be true or not and something that Target and his coaches will have to handle delicately if they want to bring this team over their invisible hurdle.
