re: Blueprint for Sustainability

I'm not sure where this myth about him being a great recruiter came from maybe in his USC days when Pete Carroll was running things. He finishes second too many times in head to head battles for elite athletes to be considered elite. LSU is a big-time gig with unbelievable resources, coach O should have a top 5 class every year, and then following a national title should easily be first or second if he is truly elite. Coach O is a good recruiter but he has way too many holes in this roster after 4 years on the job. Linebackers, O-line, secondary, even the D-line is way too thin at this stage for a defending national champion. If you want to know what an elite recruiter looks like how about the Ohio State coach, they haven't won jack in a long time, and yet their entire roster stacked. That is how you build sustainability, good recruiting year after year, and not hoping that next year will be the year that all the depth problems will be answered.

Correcto!
