Stars aligned caught lighting in a bottle. We had Bobby 1.0 and some unusual generational fb talent in the city around that time. Haven't had any of this since but a few players that have gone out of state ... My point is about sustaining in which this state cannot produce talent over a long period to even be at consistent championship level. Clemson finally figured out they issue was never talent it was hiring the right coach. They are in a talent rich hotbed as long as they keep a good coach they wont have any issues. That's been the killer for Miami and Fl.st ,Tenn programs that should be at the top of the food ladder bad coaching hires. Florida is a good example bad hires Zook,Champ,Mcelewain these 3 bad hires had talent but couldn't coach. Two excellent hires they back Meyer championships and Mullens see the quick work he doing. We are just a program that needs to strive to just be a consistent winner and if you are then you are in position to take advantage of down years by the Clemsons maybe. And yes anything can happen but i'm just being realist when it comes to FB we are just not that type program.
Programs like ours suffer from this below .
John L decent coach who should have stayed but thought he was better than what he was big mistake and after the fact he even admitted this. He was the perfect coach for this level and he brought in some studs.
Strong imop was just like JL but with the ability to bring in a much higher level player. He was never going too stay here regardless.
