That's a BS argument.
So we lost all our recruits when Fulmer left? Kiffin finished with a top 10 class.
Worse than when Kiffin bailed right before NSD? We still pulled in a top 15 class.
Has it hurt Michigan? They're currently #1 on Scout. By that argument, OSU shouldn't have hired CUM.
If the current players cared, they'd have made an effort yesterday. Right now, many of them definitively do not care. If Hart hires the right guy, then not only will the right guys stay, but we'll also get the right players in here in the future.
There is no blaming yesterday on youth or anything else other than a poorly coached team playing badly. Dooley has to go. Otherwise another year is wasted in trying to pull this program out of the dregs.
