I just posted this on another thread - the Big East is terrible and SU's talent is not far below what everyone else has on the field.  SU kicked the crap out of the one school that wins the recruiting battles - WVU - so why does that never get mentioned out here?

This team is regressing.  Almost no players have been developed this year.  Guys who have played multiple years don't even show up on game days - e.g., Marinovich.  The position coaches are not making anyone better - and somehow more times than not guys seem to be getting worse.

SU is getting its butt beat by teams with equal talent - in some cases you could argue slightly better and in others I could argue slightly worse.  SU is not in the SEC - the Big East sucks and yet DM gets blown out at home time and time again (many times in 'must win' situations).

Terrible schemes - no (at least obvious) motivational strengths - no individual improvement (some guys have regressed since game one of LAST year) - all point to coaching.  The talent argument, like the weather and facilities, only goes so far.  Guys go into other programs and win right away using the "weak" talent that they inherited and recruit better talent immediately (e.g., in both cases UVA for one) yet at SU there are nothing but excuses.

And DM's current roster is much faster and more athletic than what was at SU 3 years ago (Flaherty at LB was painful to watch).
