Except for 3 they all win 9 games by year two. 27 names on that list. 12 inherited teams with 6 or fewer wins. Look closer. You see championship coaches turn things around quickly.

Okay, I guess I haven't made this argument in a few weeks so I will. Here are the last 40 years of national champions. How come they all turned losing teams around so quickly? No transfer portal for most of them. Loser no talented players?

What are you arguing and who are you arguing at? I've read your posts in this thread and the most substantive was starting a good OL and smart QB = more wins. I don't think that anyone disagrees with that. Everything else just smacks off "we just need to stack classes." You seem to point to...

Yeah the OL has improved. I'm not taking that away from Mario.

We've had enough talent for sometime. People talk about coaching so much because they see that talent wasted year after year.

It's not mutually exclusive. You need a bit of both. I've never seen a recruiter so great he can overcome gameday ineptitude.

5 wins, 8 wins, 12 wins. That is progress.

Year 3... Not for championship coaches. But you can build a good team

Lol @ "Mike Leach, CIS Legend..." But Texas has a better coach. Recruiting is important but granted are won on gameday by gameday coaches.

Because regular Nix isn't enough!

It was originally. He clearly changed direction and tried to bounce it outside. Because the middle was stuffed. Because FSU was expecting it. Because that's what we do on 1st down.

The No. 4 team in the country barely walked away from a limping 7-5 Cristobal coached team. **** happens.

Please put in the time I would really like to have a number. But no, 90% is a bit hyperbolic. 76% feels conservatively right. Occasionally there is a decent run on 1st but usually not.

The only thing I thought about watching Bama is how they started the year with a suspect OL and QB and the coaches were able to get the players to get it together. I tried imagining that with orange and green but it didn't compute.

Respectfully I think it answers everything. Run up the middle is what we do on probably 90% of all first downs. It almost always goes nowhere. I thought about making gifs for every 1st down run up the middle but I got bored.
