Has anyone ever seen a program climb out of obscurity, appear to be on the "cusp", and then completely collapse?
Tulane. Arkansas. Kansas. Illinois twice in the last 15 years.

So what the hell happened?
They had a good year, that really didn't end up being that good.

Tulane, KU, and Illinois were all one hit wonders. Despite their post-Petrino collapse Arkansas has some good football history and an established program.

This. They ended up losing 4 games that year and never finished a season ranked.
Leavitt was clearly the stabilizing force behind the program but he was a psycho. USF and UCF never are able to recruit as well as you think they should, being in Florida. Leavitt and O'Leary are great at finding under the radar talent and fielding a good to great defense every year. Holtz and Taggart haven't been able to replicate that.
