Agreed.  And all things being equal, this current staff--while by no means perfect--is a better recruiting group than the previous staff.  Last year's class was a step in the right direction.  Even so, it was still ranked in the 40s.  Its also a double edged sword.  We need athletes and an infusion of speed / athleticism, but we're not getting blue chippers--so the athletes we're bringing in might need a year of two of seasoning to start really making an impact.  Year-over-year improvement is going to require us to continue to upgrade the talent and infuse the roster with speed on both sides of the ball.

The jury is still out on the coaching staff in terms of game day results--that's completely fair.  But they're working with a limited hand.  And many posters seem to underestimate the speed disparity we face, even against our peer programs.  That's why it is simultaneously hilarious / maddening to hear people express that our WRs are "good enough," or that our secondary has the tools to shut down opposing studs.  BS--we're not close on either positional unit.  Yet.
