At the end of the day the HC is responsible for the program and everything involved with it. When our recruiting on defense started to downturn, the HC was Mike Leach. It continued to trend down under Zach Arnett. They are both responsible for the crap we find ourselves in. Leach could just scheme better and knew how to win with inferior talent. Arnett did not.

However, the main person we need to be blaming that somehow gets no blame is Dave Emerick. He was in charge of recruiting until Leach's last year. He screwed us. He and his recruiting dept ID'd players that couldn't play at this level.
