[QUOTE="ChiefGritty, post: 1487127, member: 746137"] People still using "it's about SUSTAINED success, not a quick fix, we want it to LAST" type language about what's going on here are really something. 7 of the 9 assistant coaches from two years ago are gone, including both coordinators. Our two best players are seniors Lovie didn't recruit (Corbin and Milan) and a number of our other biggest contributors are quick-fix transfers. We're going to have almost no guys with current experience returning in 2021 from our 2020 team. Which is not to reject the idea of a long-term, brick-by-brick rebuild from the ground up out of hand. Instead it is to say that is EXACTLY WHAT WE DID HERE, and we now are reaping the fruits of our patience, and the results are pathetic, worse than what we blew up to start this whole process. I know I'm beating a dead horse with the short side of about a 98-2 split on this question, we basically all get it at this point. But it's extraordinary what a colossal failure this has been, and I feel like it's worth memorializing. Robert at Illiniboard is far better at it than I am, but he's almost too upset to be coherent at this point. [/QUOTE]
