Our last coach did bring a lot of excitement to the fanbase in a short amount of time and also created a whirlwind in the media at the same time, although at least 80% of that was negative press. He did win some games that year that were toss-ups at best. I don't imagine the jr. and sr. draft picks on that team had anything to do with that in some peoples minds. He also played Bama and UF close, but close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. Whether you face the facts or not, he was the reason the football program was before the "AA in Indy in June. We would have constantly been under scrutiny had he stayed, if not under sanctions. He had a top 10 recruiting class, but check out that class now. He is a great recruiter and I won't deny that. I only question the methods he was using to be good at it. There is no way to tell whether he would have done any better than CDD is right now. The one thing we do know is CDD is trying to do it right. We don't know if he will be the guy to bring us back just as we didn't know if our last coach was. Regardless, CDD is here for at least a couple more years. We can sit around and go back and forth over whether he is the guy or we can all stand behind him and give him the support he needs and maybe, just maybe, it will help him in recruiting enough for him to be the guy. If not, that recruiting will help the next coach.
