right on.....some how Michigan didn't take 4 years and they were junk prior, Brian Kelly had a spike at ND(now in the toilet), Jim Mc had no problem getting 11 wins his first year in Florida, Chris Peterson has taken Washington to the top of the pac 12 after decade of bottom feeders. Mark Richt has turned Miami around in just the first half of his first year. until we build depth(and should have much more than we have now in year 4) we wont improve over 9/10 games. In the 90's we had the superior facilities every other program has caught up. Butch has atleast some sexy back to the program that is drawing some kids in. The program was depleated when he took over, but when we are getting top 10 classes 4 years in a row year 4 and 5 should be conf championship years. We are in the mix and if we didn't shoot ourselves in the foot we would be 6-1 right now. Bama is the model we need to be just like they wanted to model us in the 90's. Butch is the right guy, but our OC needs to change he cost us a 11+ win season last year and the play calling has been subpar first half of the year. We need to stick with Butch he is the right guy, but so sick of hearing next year.
After five years of top 5-15 recruiting classes, we should have quality depth at every position next year. While we're not going to be reloading 5*s like Bama, we should have the talent to compete for the SECE every year. Consistently winning a minimum of 9 games a year, with 8 wins in a down year and 10 or more wins in a good year, is a reasonable expectation for a program that has UT's resources. If we want to be elite, we need consistency-- in recruiting, coaching, player development and performance.
