We have a slightly better than average chance this year but they’ll be really good the following two years if recruiting means anything. He’s 0-4 so I’m thinking he’ll probably be 1-6 against them after the next 3 years. How we extended a guy that is 0-4 against his rival to go along with a below average .500 record is beyond me.
Maybe there aren’t very many options out there but I haven’t been impressed with the overall talent, depth, recruiting, decision making or progress since Taysom and Jamal left after year 1. I think it’s a monumental task to turn this around with the headwind that has developed. Some his doing and some out of his control but he absolutely isn’t a “program changer” like a Urban Meyer from Bowling Green or a PJ Fleck was at Western Michigan. That’s the only type of guy that can get this thing get back on the rails to an upward trajectory.
