Yeah. Kind of defeats the point the OP is probably trying to make (as if Freeze's overall success and victories over Bama don't do that).
Fuente took over a program that was truly wrecked. They had won 6, 2, and 1 games in the 3 years prior to him taking over. In his 3rd year he won 10 games. This year he's 5-0 and has Ole Miss on the ropes today.
For talent... they put up a list a little while ago of a list of 6 or 8 names. They were WALK-ONS making significant contributions for the team including the guy who caught the last TD pass.
This a game between two coaches who put to lie the notion that it takes 4 or 5 years to start being competitive in and winning important games.
