Meaningful change is rarely as easy or as quick as you wish it to be. Sitting at 3-3, this is how I see the members of this board breaking:

1. Some are already throwing in the towel on CHF and/or certain members of his staff with mentions of JABA, history repeating itself, why does this always happen to us etc.;

2. Some are still waiting and wondering;

3. Some are confident that with time and recruiting we will get there in the next 2 to 3 years.

Counting this year, it has been 7 long years since we last had double digit wins (10). In the 5 years prior to this year, we averaged 6.8 wins per year. In the most recent past, i.e. the last 3 years prior to this year, we have averaged 5.6 wins and 6.3 losses. So, we have been an average football team for awhile.

Not only were we an average team when Harsin arrived, he compounded a less than ideal situation by recruiting poorly. Then, what he lacked in poor recruiting he made up for by not being able to retain players. In 2021, we had 17 players leave the program. 1 of them will likely be one of the top 5 vote getters for the Heisman. 2 of them we will see Saturday night. 1 starts on Kentucky's 0line. 1 was a 5 star defensive lineman. Our 2021 class contained --- wait for it -- just 18 signees.

Bottom line we were an average football team when Harsin arrived. Once here, as multiple high coaches have said, he did not recruit. And on top of that, Harsin lost many players to the portal. It is going to take time to get us back where we want to be.
