Acceptance, We are who we were afraid we are. Have not had a top QB since Brock Berlin's senior year. The QB's we are recruiting run more than they throw. Williams might be the answer in a couple of years. I just look at how long it took Clemson to get to where they are. Many on here want to say that CMR has been here long enough but college football just does not work that way. He did not follow a recruiter. Many of the schools where a very good coach came in and won a title followed good recruiting coaches. CMR did not.
It looks as though this ship will not be righted until year 5 or 6. Williams Junior year. We should have a proper OL and DL's to make the run. People will scream that is unacceptable but when you take out Miami's lone decade of greatness with 3 coaches 30 years ago you will see that to be in the hunt is a big deal. Texas of all schools only has 1 title in 40 years. Wisconsin, Oregon, A&M, Penn St, OU, UGA, Auburn, Tenn, FSU, Nebraska, Washington, ASU, Michigan, all have more money, better facilities, tradition, sell out, and have as many or less titles than Miami over that past 20 years.
Super Powers Bama, LSU, OSU, and USC are the only schools that have 2 or more titles in the past 20 years. And all those schools did nothing for a 30 year span in the late 70's, 80's and 90's. Bama had the one title out of all the super powers in that time span.
We are on the right track. We have the recruits visiting, positive environment, off probation, on campus facilities, great school, a strength coach who is certified, a training table (welcome to the 80's), and a stable staff.
