HCSS obviously has game management issues but maybe he can learn.  We can all debate about schemes too.

The bigger issue is that players aren't improving year over year.   I can think of very few (outside of d-line) that were significantly better over the years.  Reddish is the only one that comes to mind, the rest seem to plateau very early.

At Syracuse, we have to develop players.  We won't get the 5 stars.  We can get the 3 stars and develop them, some will pan out, some wont, but we'll be generally successful.  If Ruhle can do it at Temple we can too, but you have to develop and coach them up.   I'm afraid this skill should have shown up by now in this staff, but it hasn't.

Maybe a changeover in a few staff positions can improve this but honestly, who is excelling besides Daoust?  Maybe our LBs over the years, but they don't seem to improve much either.

To me, this is the issue that will ultimately decide HCSS fate.  Given our facilities and history and league, we can recruit 3 star talent with any respectable coach, but we won't be a consistent 7-9 win team until we start developing that talent.
