[QUOTE="mhuml32, post: 1543106, member: 3621"] I would give the same ranking (possibly B-). Lovie took the reins of a program that was a complete dumpster fire. The Beckman firing and the PR disaster. "Not ideal", hiring Cubit, New AD. The roster is vastly improved. Great decision to hire Patterson. Great decision to embrace transfers. The bad is almost all of his initial coaching staff hires. McGee was a disaster (but was celebrated at the time). Nickerson was a disaster. Took a while for Lovie to become more flexible with his defensive formation. Recruiting has been perplexing. A number of folks have mentioned a number of concerns (lack of coaches that are focused on recruiting, in-state recruits going elsewhere, late offers that either led to recruits going elsewhere or put them at risk of going elsewhere). If 2020-21 went poorly and Lovie was fired, I would have no doubt the program would be in much better position to when he took over. [/QUOTE]
