Off the top of my head I can think of several programs - including a couple that started off in far worse shape than SU - that made great hires and turned it around quickly. I am sure that with some research - there are others but for now I will limit the Google searches to team records before and after.

Al Golden took Temple from 1-11 to 9-4 in 3 years. And there was no worse D1 program in the country than Temple - and it still amazes me that they have been able to get recruits to even visit their campus.

Spurrier took Duke - at the time, another perennial crap program from 4-7 to 7-3 in two years.

London has turned UVA around in year two.

And for those people out here that love to use Beamer and VTech as an example of how it took 7 years for him to turn it around, I call BS - Beamer went from 2-9 to 6-4-1 in 2 years, not 7 years.

I have no agenda - quite frankly, my life won't change whether SU goes 0-11 or 11-0. Just tired of watching uninspired crappy football - this year SU has be involved in some of the worst games in all of college football and there is no defending DM or anyone else for these horrible showings. Especially when the talent on the roster now is better than it was 3 years ago at most (not all) positions.
