You're not getting it. One bad season does not constitute an entire rebuild. There are a lot of guys still on this team that went 11-2 a couple years ago.
I do get it but turnover in college football is only a few years. Even with a redshirt you are looking at 5 years and what about those that are only there for 3 before going pro early. Hogs could come back strong and go 10 wins again but I would not bet the house on it. You have a B1G guy in his 40's with most of his experience coming from not playing in the SEC. Is it possible there will be some adjustment? Mizzou thought they would come in and beat "Old Man Football" and look how that year finished up.
Just go by years
2008 (5-7) BP Year #1
2009 (8-5) BP Year #2
2010 (10-3) BP Year #3
2011 (11-2) BP Year #4
2012 (4-8) JLS dumpster fire year
Viewed another way
How many wins does BB have?
How many of those are SEC wins?
How many of those are elite SEC wins?

Not exactly very comparable IMO. Pinkel and Mizzou came in expecting to win by playing the same way they did in the B12. Their staff and philosophies didn't change at all as far as I know. I know the circumstances are different but Bielema diversified his staff a lot and brought in new guys from every major conference. We have ZERO Big 10 guys coaching the offensive side of the ball and only his 2 best from Wisconsin on defense. Our offensive staff is made up of 2 SEC guys (OL and OC), a B12 guy (WR) and a PAC12 guy (RB). All of whom are very proven. And we had Miami's WR coach for about 2 weeks before he got hired to be the OC as Cuse.
He deliberately brought in a staff wasn't full of people that only knew the B1G because he knew the SEC isn't like the B1G.
