I have a different take on RE v2.  He went to the well of what he did V1.  Cleaned house on players, built a good D and running game, and then got real lucky by getting Orlovsky, which moved timelines to success up quickly.  When he cleaned house, we were 1aa moving to D1.

V2 knew the talent level was not there Day 1 and went old school with running guys off and playing guys who were too young and should have redshirted. Because we were in the AAC, it was ugly.  By the time we pulled the plug on him literally, he had started to recruit better players.  He recruited Lundt, Haynes and most of our OLine from the last year.  Stafford, Gourdine, Yates, Hardy,  Tui, etc. were all his recruits too.  For all the bashing, remember he brought in the base that Mora retained so we could be revived.

Times had changed with the portal and RE was the wrong guy for that.  He also wasn't adept at finding good Qb's.   That said, Diaco was the worst hire, even worse than PP who left him with more talent than he left RE
