Our new coach coaches his 1st season with a completely inherited roster. So now he starts recruiting- and so many recruits are already committed to other programs- he has to get the best of the rest. So its going to be until 2020 until our new coach starts getting his recruits into the program and on the field. Cann was really awesome on the recruiting trial- and you see the minimal impact his guys have had this year paired with Cohen's leftovers.

No matter who we hire- its going to be a rebuild
More reason to hand a blank check to the best coach we can identify who isn?t 60+ years old. It?s embarrassing to build the best stadium in the country and we can?t even make a regional for the first 3 seasons. Go get someone so that when 2020 rolls around we at least know should build a winner that won?t need another rebuild in 2 years, which is the rollercoaster we?ve been on for the last 15-20 years. If we gamble on an assistant or a guy without much track record, then we may set the program back a decade and by the time we find the right coach and let him spend 3 years building a program, we will no longer have the new dude to sell and probably be bypassed by a half dozen new stadiums built in the interim.
