Or, if you look at the years all of them have won the MNCs....they were a top 3 recruiting class in the previous few years. We have not had top 3 classes back to back....



Certainly not saying that recruiting not does play a very big role in the program. It does as we all recognize.

But it all goes back to coaching. Saying the planets will align or the the ball will bounce our way one doesn't feed the bulldawg.

The coach makes the change, makes it happen, witness Saban at Bama and Urban at Fla and now OU.

We have what we have. I have adjusted my expectations to the reality of the situation. I look forward to getting to a Florida bowl next year, but Arizona and Tampa are out of the question.

Likewise. I was class of '75 so I have seen about as many bad to mediocre seasons as good. Our admins have never been all in to win a football NC and probably never will be but I am seeing some positive signs. At least they now seem willing top pay our coaches competitive wages and adding more assistants should give the coaches more time for priorities.

The next few season with Puitt and Shottenheimer should be interested but we definitely need to recruit better in-state if we are going compete for a championship. Top 10 classes don't cut it this day and time; we need top 5 classes to compete with Alabama, Ohio St., FSU, LSU, Auburn, etc.
