It reminds me a little of our situation with Bielema.

Both need time to get more talent on the roster.



Time is of the essence for Bielema. Even with the talent that he lures, it probably won't be enough. Arkansas will have a world of trouble competing with Alabama, LSU, Auburn, and A&M each season. Even in Arkansas' best years under Petrino, they were getting blown out by Alabama and LSU.

I would like to see Cal competitive, but the defense has shown zero signs of life and it looks like those woes will continue in 2014. They are going to get torched on the ground and through the air... again.

Thats just not true.

Petrino was 2-2 against LSU with one of the losses in OT

that's the thing - Dykes' teams never played any defense at La Tech. (if he had any defense at all, that 2012 Tech team would have gone undefeated). You can't out-Oregon, Oregon. Stanford plays defense.
Some of these Offense-only coaches do okay - like Sumlin. Many fail.
I thought the Bielema hire was interesting as heck. It would have been more interesting though, had he gone to a SEC team closer to the SEC pecking order as Wisky is in the Big Ten. I'll still check Arky out a lot this year.
