...got in the wrong thread I think. via Mav
We had a staff full of guys who had more responsibility than they'd had before. Obviously that was Bo's choice but that's how it was.
First time HC.
Two different first time DCs.
After Watson left, first time OC.
Assistant coaches who had been GAs. I think it just took some time to get everything figured out.
I don't know that they didn't put enough effort into recruiting, but that's possible.
They also might not have been targeting the right guys,
spending too much time on guys they were never going to get,
saying yes to lesser prospects instead of holding out for higher ones, or whatever.
And probably not making as many early contacts as they should have...
adjusting to new coaching responsibilities.
And probably just some good old fashioned bad luck.
We had quite a few four star prospects not pan out. For whatever reason, the seemed to be good in high school but didn't work out.
