4) The stellar recruiting class. Grade = A.
The class was ranked high, but we lost several players from Louisiana to Alabama and other schools, including a couple of LBs that we desperately needed. O gets a partial pass for that since he wasn't named the permanent head coach until late in the recruiting game, but you can't lose the best players in your own state, your own city, even your own campus, at a position of extreme need and get an "A" for recruiting.

I would argue that while this did happen, we made up for it in a big way by getting Taylor over Auburn and UGA and also flipping Phillips from OU.
Things didn't go as planned, but being able to ride the waves of recruiting and fill needs when plan A didn't come to fruition says a lot about our ability to make shite happen.
Les put all his eggs in one basket with Fournette in 2014 (didn't recruit/sign a running back in 2013) and it worked out, but could you imagine if he signed elsewhere? 2015 wouldn't have been pretty.
