[QUOTE="Samuel S, post: 129439509, member: 1754664"] We are not close to being legitimate playoff contender. We are not going to make a huge leap from being a seminal example of mediocrity to the top in a year or two. We need first to reestablish the program as a solidly and consistently above average one and then hope for the stars to align in a given season (excellent QB, lineups on both sides filled with solid veterans, a couple of true star players in the mix...) and even then we will need to get the majority of the "bounces." I don't believe anyone can offer any remotely sensible reason to support the assertion that Holgorsen has what it takes to make us a consistently above average program. He does not excel in ANY single aspect of coaching and is poor at as many as he is average. He's an average recruiter at best, and after 5 seasons I think it's pretty fair to say that he is nothing more than an average offensive coach. His game management and decision-making is often infuriatingly poor. I find it amusing that after every bad loss we have a handful of people who repeat the mantra that we should not overreact to one bad game seemingly oblivious to the fact that they need to repeat that statement over and over year after year renders it absurd.
