This is always the case with second year coaches. Either you can sell it or you can't. SOS and Meyer brought in monster classes in their second year and used those guys to win championships immediately. I realize we have hampered Mac with our coaching staff budget limits but the bottom line is he has to be able to get the job done or convince Fooley to let him hire something better than GAs from USF and RB coaches turned WR coaches from FIU.
Either you have it, or you don't. We will see how we finish.
The roster and the record we will have this year isn't Mac's fault As Chimp would say, "That's on me." However, how Mac and his staff do this year in recruiting most certainly is his fault Yes he started from behind but he also gets to be new and fresh (as fresh as you can be at his age) and not defined yet. Once the snowball starts rolling downhill though, it's hard to change direction.
