Jason Candle stood in front of a room full of boosters Monday at the Downtown Coaches Association luncheon and offered a frank assessment of the Toledo football season.
He answered several questions during a nine-minute Q and A, detailing the view inside the Rockets’ in-season reclamation project.
An hour later, Candle sat patiently in his office overlooking the Glass Bowl with a Blade reporter. Again, he answered questions about what’s plaguing Toledo. How has a season with great expectations dissolved into a 3-4 record and two-game Mid-American Conference losing streak?
“You have to keep perspective when times are hard,” Candle said.
