I'm not necessarily making excuses for Stubbs but as someone who has followed his playing and professional career what I will say is that I have zero doubt he will make your receivers better. He was so talented at the things that are teachable that I am certain he can pass those on to players. As far as his recruiting ability, I agree that he is unproven. However, being unproven and being bad are not the same thing. Slap that U on his chest with a pass happy Offense and finally a good QB with Tate coming in and I won't be surprised if 2 years from now people on this thread are trying to bury it and eating crow. Quit whining and support your team. Best of luck unless you meet Purdue along your travels. Boiler Up!!
But he is bad at recruiting. After 8 years in the industry, your recruiting is no longer an "unknown." People keep wanting to pretend like because he's never done anything on the recruiting trail, that isn't evidence that he can't do anything on the recruiting trail. But it is.
And there aren't really in major moves in his career. You're pretending like he left these jobs because better programs wanted to come scoop him up. He's spent his entire career at marginal programs. He's only here because Enos knows him. He isn't somebody Manny would have ever hired absent his OC telling him to make this hire. Which says everything. If you've done nothing in 8 years that has the rest of the country knowing who you are, it's because you've done nothing worthy of being noticed. Far too many people pretending that isn't the case to make themselves feel better about the hire.
