Don't confuse lack of coaching acumen with lack of talent. That's not to say we don't have talent gaps in critical positions. But I said when Manny was announced head coach after a 4 hour search that his hiring was a kick in the balls to the whole program. That's exactly how it played out...
Fine, but you said a "complete rebuild". That includes defensive, special teams, support staff, scouting, recruiting, etc.
Additionally, what @wspcane said:
There's a big difference between being a super-talented playoff contender and a complete rebuild. Just saying.
We actually were very talented in some areas and very weak in others. An extremely unbalanced roster. That makes it hard to compete with the upper echelon particularly if your weak...
Yeah, but in the 47-0 blowout in Tallahassee, with us driving, didn't Bowden put the first team back on the field with under 2 minutes left to preserve the shutout?
Payback is a b*tch.
