Obviously the mid 1990s success is a long way ago and that downfall happened under P. However, our current situation has nothing to do with P.

Coach P was removed in 2004. We fell from being a top 25 program to medicore program. Greg Robinson's 4 years put us in the bottom of college football realm. However after Gerg was fired in 2008 by the end of Doug Marrone era we were in the middle of the CFB sphere. When Marrone left we were okay. Our talent may not have been ready for top 25 status but we were okay and we hired Scott Shafer.  Hiring Shafer with the talent level was crazy.

Shafer was taking over a harder job conference wise than Marrone coached. This hire was beyond stupid. We didn't have a great recruiting class to protect and we paid for it. Our last 2 years were Greg Robinson season.
We rectified this mistake by hiring Dino Babers.

Babers is taking over like Marrone did in 2008 a program down in the dumps of college football and in a tougher conference in one of the 3 toughest divisions in college football.

The downfall is irrelevant. We are taking about why we are where we are right now. The main reason we are struggling right  now is the last HC and the last 3 years. This current coach deserves our patience as he has a record to trust.
