Message: [QUOTE="nzm136, post: 953349, member: 2531"] 1. You're discounting the possibility of not turning into a coaching stud. I'm not saying that they can't/won't grow. For instance, McD has made awesome progress and I'm very excited about him in the future. However, odds are always against any one individual's progression from a promising young coach to a seasoned vet with realized talent. There can only be one person who is the best in the world at anything, and there is no such thing as a sure thing prospect. That's why there needs to be a balance. We need the seasoned vets who are proven commodities to balance out the aspiring new hires with potential. Similarity, we need the new blood (young coaches) to keep us from getting stale. Right now we are out of balance. We have too much potential and not enough realized potential. 2. Had PSU played Robinson, PSU would have won by 2-3 TD's. They can play that game, too. However, I agree that they weren't good. But, we lost to them. What does that say about us? I get that it was our first game in a rookie coach's first season. I can let it slide . However, my point still stands. Last season wasn't bad. It just wasn't fantastic, and we had a ton of luck on our side. 3. We beat Minn. and BC on sone exceedingly lucky plays that would not have happened more often than not. A win is a win, and I'm happy about it. My point is simply had those freak occurrences not happened, there would be a lot of questions about our coaching talent flying around this forum. I would much rather bank on talent than luck. 4. You're dead wrong about our wr's. Other than that, I agree. We should have a ton of talent next year, and our win total should be better, but I think that has more to do with an easier schedule. I think that we will lose to Clemson and FSU. I think that we will then split ND and UL and BC and Pitt, with the possibility of one more random loss, giving us a 7-5 regular season record and the possibility of going 8-5 with a bowl win.
