Message: [QUOTE="TheCusian, post: 1164044, member: 2585"] It's classic chicken/egg stuff. I think if you install what you want to do - but without the athletes to pull it off - you lose and you look bad doing it. Making it that harder to recruit. I'd rather do it in stages - win some with what you have, install bits and pieces, recruit your arse off. I think that's what Shafer and McDonald were trying to do last year - and then McDonald gets anxious this year and starts installing a bunch of stuff again, despite having raw young athletes and a thoroughly mediocre QB. Whether we gave in too quick or not is up for debate. I kind of hope that Lester embraces some of both systems in this weird trial by fire. [/QUOTE]
