Tell that to the guys who were sold on being part of the turnaround for this program....yes you are correct I am currently bitter...a new OC and 2 Defensive analysts in year 3 still show we are still searching...after watching what Matt Rhule did and Mack Brown did...you are correct...but how is it fair to kids being sold on something that hasn't transpired in 3 years? i believe it will turnaround but not for another 2-3 years...
3 years? A little early to throw in the towel on this season already, isn't it?
And it makes little sense to say "Because Matt Rhule and Mack Brown did what they did in 2 years then every single other program should be able to do that or better."
One more thing - your painting a picture of a kid going to coach Frost and saying "You promised me we would be fully turned around by now and we aren't. This just isn't fair to me." Kids were sold a very accurate thing. A part of the turnaround. Not the results of the turnaround.
I mean, what are coaches supposed to say? "Young man, I promise you that you will be able to breath air and wear a helmet during practice and eat at the special yummy training table. I can't promise more, or else it won't be fair to you." Do kids at Ohio State go to Day and say "Coach we didn't win them all. This isn't fair. You lied."
I just keep trying to think of how to respond to your post and can't imagine being in a players shoes right now and thinking that it isn't fair. I can imagine being in a player's shoes and being hungry to compete. and I can also imagine being a former player placing his name in the transfer portal pouting about how unjust it all is.
And bringing in an OC that has worked in this exact offense with these coaches hardly seems like searching. Especially when you consider the fact that he replaced a guy who had not worked in this offense with these coaches prior to frost. It actually kind of seems like the opposite of searching, it seems like going back to what works.
And bringing in new defensive analysts? Find me 10 programs that did not bring in an analyst of GA or something this offseason. Part of the game.
