As opposed to running the program in the ground by keeping Cam Cameron around & some of his old cronies?

Ensminger isn't a crony of his?

The team down the stretch played much better than they did earlier in the season. We saw marked progress. This is mainly what I’m talking about

After he'd already ruined any chance of them doing anything of significance this year. There was nothing to lose at that point.

That's what O is great at, pick a team up that's been knocked down on the mat. That's why he's a great interim coach. He's not proven to be as good with a team coming in with expectations.

And if he pulls a top 10 class this year you’ll say ________??

Depends. We have the talent in state to be a top 5 class, right? Lower than 5 would be a disappointment this year.

Again, I know 1 year of sample size might confirm your bias in your mind, but this is not how smart people work.

I'm actually a body of work type of guy, and I think I've been consistent on that. I'm not going off of 1 year, I'm going off of four years. But I could see how you want to take a wait-and-see mindset because you don't want to believe what the entire body of work tells us.

You're actually want to disregard his past results and only focus on the current. That's not how smart people work.

Additionally, it hasn't precisely been just one season. He had most of 2016 as well, a head start most other coaches aren't afforded.
