With all of the self-pity and ranting, I mean to be honest who didn't expect this? I think most when they took their Vandy-colored glasses off (I know some are unremovable for a few) knew this was exactly how these two seasons would do.
2-3 wins each. We've said it over and over. Mason brought in incredibly non-competitive SEC level talent and left a ridiculously disorganized program. So sure we can pick one program a year, Kansas or whatever and say "why didn't we do that." but the odds were exactly as they are playing out. 2 years of complete SEC losing. And talent makes coaches look good. Talent makes coaches look bad. That's 101. Our talent in not SEC.
Lea bores me incredibly. I think many on here way overrate his recruiting thus far by a good deal.. But he is organized, he is throrough, and he wants to win more than any single person on this board times 100x. He is playing who he thinks we can win with and he knows a lot more about coaching than you.
Next year has always been, as I've been yammering about since his hire, the real test. We need 4-5 wins next year and an SEC win AND we need to build on that momentum to bring in a top 30 recruiting class. We need the AD to shut up about plans and see actual facilities. Until then we can wallow all we want about how much we such, we've sucked since Franklin, but it's hard to really say we suck because our coach sucks -- and this comes from one of the biggest critics of him when we hired him.
