- Gets abused by other coaches in games and we just say there is a learning curve.

I'm willing to give a coach the benefit of the doubt with a learning curve in some areas, so long as it's worth it due to him being elite in other areas. Mullen sucked at recruiting but he was elite with Xs and Os. Therefore you deal with the lack of recruiting ability and hope it comes.

So, what does JoMo do well? Why are we allowing a learning curve in virtually every facet of the program?

Is there anything he does that doesn't envolve a learning curve?

We call a guy that needs a learning curve in everything "not ready for the job"

It's getting bad.
All that and we still went 8-5 and have a top 25 class.

Im not defending Moorhead on the field, I am defending his recruiting because he is pretty good at it, better than Mullen by a lot. Every coach gets used and every coach uses players its just the name of the game. Im not defending what he did on the field this year at all, it was a solid D to C job at best. Has to improve. I have heard some things over the past few days now that Fitz is gone about how much he hampered us, esp in the bowl but he is gone now. Next year he will not have that excuse.

Im just saying it isnt as bad as you are making it out to be. Its not like we went 4-8. Before you even reply let me repeat, I am not saying I am ok with that this year, we had a 10 win team that Moorhead coached to 8 wins because he wanted to do what he is comfortable with and not what we could do.
