you like him better. so do I. That's really the bottom line. The rest aren't facts. the rest is I"wish this team would become a lead someday."
he is recruiting no better than butters, or only marginally better by the slightest fraction. Butters at least added wide receiver and running back talent. dorky Dan is adding nothing.
at LSU or Tennessee he'd still be the same clown we were laughing at two years ago, but you can't take off your orange and blue goggles.
he's proven repeatedly he can't win without a talent advantage, and then he can't recruit well enough to have a talent advantage. how fccking hard is that to understand?
shark and chimp have 10-win seasons too.
the rest is just your imagination.
I think you are misunderstanding me. I am not saying CDM is the answer and everything is sunshine and roses. He is fixing a lot of what was wrong, but there is still quite a ways to go. If he doesn't fix his staff this off-season than he will be gone, probably after the 2021 season. (Same goes for recruiting - and on that front, to your point on recruiting, who the hell
does win without a talent advantage?)
Several on here are calling him Mark Richt 2.0 and it may be a fair comparison (though possibly not as Richt did win a couple of league title and came very close on one other occasion and recruited a helluva lot better). And like Richt, CDM may just be setting up the table for the next guy to a certain extent. We will see. But I will admit to being foolish sometimes (or maybe overly optimistic) and am willing to give the guy more of a chance before I say it's time to move on.
Most of us here don't want to admit how fortunate we have been. To have had two HC's like SOS and then Urbs was pretty damn remarkable. Those great HCs don't come along very often. Looking around the current landscape, there are two, maybe three guys performing at that level. Another two or three are just below that. The rest are all just some guy who may or may not get there someday.
Before we dump CDM, I'd love to hear who we (and especially you) think will be an upgrade and why. I personally doubt, given the current level of priority given to the football program, we'll find that guy very easily.
