And yet sker when these kids were recruited and were not 4 or 5 or even 3 star athletes, this board found them to be great. Rated talent meant nothing, we know what we need. You can not have it both ways. I would hope after the disaster of recruiting that we have had we would see improvement. But I wonder will this 34th ranked class be the same talk down the road in 4-5 years. Sometime or another, the buck has to stop. Like I said, I see reason for hope this year. But this is not some type of defensive juggernaut that will set the college football landscape on fire is my guess. Being better for me is the goal, each and every year. No more excuses.
Getting the kids ready to play, where does the responsibility lie? Having them adapt to, accept the process, who is responsible for that? If they don't who is responsible for correcting the problem? One person and only one person, who is paid incredibly well for a average job at best. I know here comes the 9 win, who else can argument. I really do not care about wins or loss numbers. I care about this program being respected for its efforts on the field. Nothing more, nothing less.
And when I asked about the fact that few were getting drafted, there was another excuse.
There is one common problem. Lack of coaching experience at this level, stubborn buddy system for hiring coaches, insecurity, afraid to have someone on board that is not a yes man. These have been displayed for quite awhile.
