You could hire Nick Saban and we are not going to be 9-3 in 3 years.
Good God people -- this is not video college football where you call yourself a school and you can build a program quickly. There are real issues with how successfully how quickly you can be here. You don't have a UConn football fan base with the program win or lose. You aren't in a recruiting area that produces tons of talent. We have changed coaching staffs like some change shirts, hindering relationship building with high schools. Our school is tighter on grades and bad behavior than many of our competitors. Our current roster is just not as good as the top half (at least) of our conference, and if Saban came in today you wouldn't get much help from his recruiting skills until at the earliest the 2019 season, and more likely after that (and while I don't doubt he could recruit better than anyone we've had here, if you think he's geting the kind of kids he gets at 'Bama, or even got at LSU, you need a brain transplant -- the coach matters but so does the program). And we're stuck in a conference no one in our region cares about.
I know you all want to think Edsall as mediocre and it won't be hard to duplicate that, but you're wrong. Coach P had a good career at Syracuse as a head coach, and can obviously coach football or he wouldn't keep landing on his feet. Diaco won the Broyles shortly before coming here. Other than their failure to succeed here, neither of them was viewed as a total loser. Think about that and what it means for a moment.
