Mainly: How BAD this team really IS...how we really had fallen over the years since Meyer's last Championship season. More than ten years and THREE successive Coaches (FOUR if you count that last on-again/OFF-again season with Meyer himself, though in truth it was clear that Addazio was really mainly "in charge"--enormous joke THAT in fact turned out to be!

We can trace THAT downward plunge some other time. For now, suffice it to say this program has not gotten the attention it needed and deserved. So NOW it needs REAL work. And TIME. The kind of time and ATTENTION, long hours of WORK that is the ONLY WAY BACK...
And now maybe it finally GETS IT--Along with additional talent, discipline, and attention-to-DETAIL that ultimately helps to build a WINNER.
I still believe THIS Coach has exactly the priorities, along with the knowledge and skills to build and instill JUST THAT into this team...
BUT: AM I right? Or have I bought a "bill of goods"? You are big on "Details", E--.
