Plenty of talent? There was some talented individual talent but it was far from a talented team. You do realize we can look up the recruiting classes he had when entered the program. That's why he had to let half of the staff go, they were good coaches but refused to recruit. I'm sure you know all of this but your agenda won't let you acknowledge it.
The 2010 team may or may not have been talented. I do know that it had quite a few players on it that had been on a winning team in 2009, and yet others who had been on winning teams in 2007 and 2008. It was infinitely better than the team that took the field in 2013.
Let's take a look at the Joker regime from this perspective. At the end of 2012, we were 2-10. We had lost by 40 points to Vandy. We had a very poor incoming recruiting class for the next year. The bottom line is, the reincarnation of Vince Lombardi in his prime was looking at 3 wins max in 2013 with the level of talent that this team had. Joker probably would have managed the same two wins that Stoops did, if we had kept him. Then, we'd be looking at 2014, with two consecutive 2-10 teams, with no Badet, Timmons, Kemp, etc, etc, and no top 25 recruiting class in 2014 (no Barker, no Boom, etc). At the rate Joker was going, we would have eventually finished 0-12.
