[QUOTE="Ransom Stoddard, post: 1301502, member: 10336"] This thing has to go in phases, we (or any program) can't jump straight to a FF without spending a few years rebuilding the program (yes, I'm aware there are flukes, but we're talking about sustained success, not one-off E8 runs). To get to that regular SS/E8/FF expectation that we all have it will absolutely take big-name recruits, but it's silly IMO to think we'll get there in 2-3 years. This is a process, and it took Lou a long, long time to build the program to where it was a regular in the top 5 of the polls in the 80's, and then a while for Kruger/Self to rebuild it to get there again in the early-mid 00's. To think that there's one magical assistant out there who can grab the big CPL recruits in 2017 and have us in the upper echelons in 2018/19 is being realistic. [/QUOTE]
