Message: [QUOTE="TheCusian, post: 1431989, member: 2585"] No need to rehash the whole argument - but your contention that it wasn't a rebuild is not sound. The defense transitioned just fine. The offense lost every coach but one and it's NFL bound QB and two very good offensive recruits (Edwards and Z.Allen). Hackett was running a system that he effectively made-up - so finding any kind of consistency there - was lost the moment Marrone took Hackett to Buff. Shafer 'ed up by bringing in Mcit. He had a decent idea in that the guy had a great rep as a top tier recruiter. So it was very much a rebuild on the offensive side. That we made it to and won the Texas bowl - is a testament to someone telling Mcit that we had an NFL payer on the line, a huge back in Jerome, and a QB who could run a bit. [/QUOTE]
