Final ranking of 7 and recruiting class of 9.
He did that with a roster that just went 4-7 and a bunch of B-list recruiters on staff.
If you're skeptical, it's because you are comparing him to Saban/Meyer.
You are insufferable.
Whine all year about how this staff can't recruit.
They snag a Top10 class and you choose to move the goalposts.
You and Bill Sikes should hang out.
I don't even know how you are able to feed yourself if you think our subpar recruiting is all caused by a lack of football only facility.
You were probably also claiming that the IPF was the solution to all our recruiting woes 5 years ago too.
I can appreciate being conserative with hundreds of millions of dollars when we are all discussing the changing culture and landscape.
I doubt many of these places will see the ROI they anticipated after ticket sales continually decline.
lol
You know A&M is in debt half a BILLION dollars for their stadium right? The one they have trouble selling out?
And that UF is one of the only athletic departments in the entire country that gives back to the University?
That Kentucky sold naming rights to their stadium to effing Kroger a...
What services are you using to look at these rankings?
The 24/7 composite is the only one worthwhile.
Additionally, does no one even discuss how many highly rated players are heavy leans to us?
What about FSU's class teetering on the brink of a complete implosion?
How about how Miami's class...
Also, I didn't read the whole thread. But anyone worried about UCF becoming the premier institution in the state is fretting for nothing.
UCF is a directional school with a below average academic reputation.
They are much more like Houston, Louisville, Cincinnati, etc than major state schools.
I genuinely don't understand why anyone would NOT want to play UCF in a NY6.
Sure, it wouldn't be a sexy matchup when maybe Michigan or Texas or Washington State are out there.
But they need to be put in their place and there is no better program to do it than ours.
ND is off the table and if UCF loses, they are off the table.
Texas is only possible if OU gets into the playoff or if they beat OU, which out of the 3 possibilities are the 2 most UNlikely.
Mullen had a better year than any other new coach at their respective schools.
And he did it with a team that went 4-7 last season against a Top20 SOS.
- Destroyed F$U.
- Beat Muschamp when they were preseason division darlings.
- Destroyed UT.
- Beat a Top5 team at home.
- Beat a ranked team...
