Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 1786196, member: 1414"] Alabama and Ohio State had relative down years as well, as has Nebraska. Southern Cal is just now coming out of it, like Michigan. KU is great evidence of the impact of coaching. They were pretty strong in my years under Glen Mason, featuring guys like Dana Stubblefield and Gilbert Brown. Then sucked, then had one great year with Mangino...then Gill and Charlie Weiss....ugh. I don't really know if Beaty is the guy. He doesn't fill me with optimism the way Diaco does, and his reliance on passing and skill players seems a harder way to get to respectable. Diaco's emphasis on size, power, defense and running yield a team that can be competitive more regularly. [/QUOTE]
