I care about this season for the sake of the players who came here during the last 2 or 3 years. I really don't want to send any seniors off after this season in shame like last year or 2013 either without enjoying at least a bowl trip and winning record. Yes I know that a lot of what has happened over the last couple of years is of their doing on the field but the morons who were coaching them did them no favors.
Now all that being said and looking beyond 2018, we need a huge upgrade of talent save for maybe WR and RB. That will have to come from none other than the man at the top. It is not enough to "get close" to landing targets. Guys like Butters and Chimp get close.....guys like Meyer, Saban, and Dabo land their targets or at least most of them. We also need a bona fide superstar at a pivotal position.....I'm not expecting a recreation of TT but we need to put some guys(other than the punter) on some first team Conference or All American teams to create some buzz around the program.
Honestly we need the next 2 classes to be Top 5-10 classes, I just don't see any way around it for Mullen to succeed here.
