Sileo is absolutely right with his first part. The lack of stability and continuity I'm our program over the last decade and a half had absolutely destroyed us. You cant clean house and start over every 4 years and think youll be good (or even decent). Agree 100% with that.
The problem is, we haven't had anyone who is capable of steering the ship properly. Coker was a dreadful hire based on a mirage. Nobody with half a brain thought he would be a good HC; he was just the front man that incredible roster wanted so THEY could go win a title which they knew they could instead of someone like Alvarez coming in and changing everything. Randy, I honestly dont know why Randy was so bad, but him as HC was analogous to some form of quickly spreading cancer to our program. We were rotting at every level under him, most concerning with relationships with the local HS football factories. Al Golden was a horrible ******* hire. Had no pedigree, was a picture perfectly bad cultural fit and was in over his head from day 1. CMR was once a very good coach and seemed a great hire, but the game had completely passed him by and he refused to accept it. And now Manny. Last night in that first half legitimately felt to me like Manny's 0-45 vs UVA or 0-58 vs Clemson moment. THAT is what we came out with after two weeks to prep against a terrible team?!? Complete and absolute failure on literally every level. We looked like a D2 team that first half. Literally, not saying that as a joke. To me, that was the death knell for Manny Diaz. He just isnt it. Period.
So yes, if we keep tearing the house completely down every 4 years and rebuilding it, we will be stuck in a perpetual state of sucking. Agree. But what's the alternative?!? It ain't Manny, Baker and Enos!
Fvck!!! Fvck everything!!!!!
I wish I hadn't quit drinking. I could use a few hours slipped away into a bottle of good bourbon.
