Star-wise, hype-wise, I'd say recruiting is slightly better but that could be an echo from the 10-11 season. We haven't seen the echo from the AAC yet.

(Outside of QB, I give P that one) In the end, it isn't so much better that it matters one bit. Did we not spend thousands of posts making the case against the star system that Edsall found tough hardworking guys that flew under the radar and coached them up to far better results on the field that some of the star darlings? Wins matter, right now P doesn't have enough of them. Win 8 this year and that brings his average all the way up to 6.

Bingo. The Pasqualonistas are bedazzled with the recruiting.
He inherited a bowl caliber team and has proceeded to run it into the ground.



The man is a poor game coach, plain and simple

This year's recruiting is disappointing. Overall I would no longer say that P's recruiting is better than Edsall's, except at quarterback, but that is an important position. We do have enough players on the roster that with good coaching we should be able to perform well for 3 years, if the coaching is good. Hopefully TJ Weist fixes what was a failed approach to coaching the offense. Game day decisions like timeouts can be delegated to coordinators too if the OC is not spending the game upstairs in a booth. Our next head coaching hire will be crucial. So will upgrading the athletic department marketing, as HuskyfanDan points out. We need fan excitement even if playing in the AAC or playing mediocre opponents. They have to build the athletic program and the research capabilities simultaneously.

WHICH PART OF THE RECRUITMENT PROCESS DO YOU FEEL IS A DISAPPOINTMENT?
