And we just landed Monty Rice who is going to be a hell of a linebacker for us

But that just doesn't fit the narrative that our program is falling apart so let's forget about that.

Still plenty of time between now and national signing day to land a great class.

And the Canada hire would be epic

Show me a list of recruiting among interim-head coaches who were already on staff.

Your argument has little practicality here because there has been no full-fledged regime change.


Which explains completely why things are slow and in flux on the offensive side of the ball. The changes were almost completely related to the offense. Once an OC is hired, things will stabilize.

LOL. He played a part in that prior to being promoted.
He did a good job reeling in Shelvin and Charles, but I think those were the only two he was the primary recruiter for.

Interested to see how we finish.

Except that I listed Dabo Swinney, the guy that did exactly that and had success.

While true, one of the reasons Coach O was sold to us was that he could and would avoid such a scenario

I'm sure their is some truth to this but keeping it 100% intact is just unrealistic (even without a coaching change). It's actually still a good class with greater possibilities, Akers and Wilson

Don't want to start another thread for SirRohantheDefender, but can someone ask him on Twitter or 247 if they keep track of decommits and the percentages of them recommitting? Seems like it would be a relevant statistic for the recruiting industry.

Congratulations. Out of the six coaches you listed, ONE was an interim coach prior to taking over full-time.
