Wade was a good coach with great recruiting. When I say coach I mean X's and O's. He wasn't great. He was a great evaluator of talent. He was a promoter of the program and his players loved to play for him. But he wasn't a good coach when it came to X's and O's in my opinion. As I stated previously we literally could not inbound the ball under our own goal. Why people assume that is diminishing Wade is ridiculous. You don't have to be a great coach in the Southland Conference. All you need is better talent which he has this year. A good coach with better talent. Had he stayed longer at LSU and continued to win especially a few more SEC championships then he may have become a great coach. Maybe as time goes on he becomes more proficient with that part the game. Dale Brown is a perfect example. Great recruiter. Great motivator. Great promoter of the program. But not a great coach yet he achieved way more than Wade has. Why? Because he could recruit and had assistant coaches that could recruit. He may have also been greasing the wheels like Wade was but at least he had a bag man. LOL.

What is your basis for your opinion of the Xs and Os. You know we were highly ranked nationally on offense just about every season he was here and while he was looking for an identity on D up until his last season he found one that had us anywhere from 6-10 nationally on defense.

You typed all that out and are completely wrong.

Skylar mayes? He was amazing before Wade got here, just a superior athlete. Tari Easin too, he was killing it at Cincy before Wade coached him, right?
