Another shot of white gas coming your way....................................
He walked into a team that had just won the western division of the Big Ten but had some holes. Initially they were not craters.
"He also needed to learn on the job having not been a head coach before."
Which is EXACTLY why he should NOT be the head coach yet. If we wanted to be a player in the league we should not have hired a coach that "may" have the ability to rebuild the team but rather one with proven talent to rebuild the team.
"I think he has done an admirable job."
You have VERY LOW standards.
"A whole new system that takes time to implement along with talent that wasn't up to par to playing in the new BT."
It is very poor coaching to implement a system without the needed talent. I for one do not think that the talent that Brohm left was as bad as you have inferred. We let four OFF lineman walk out the door and four DEF lineman walk out the door all of which ended up with P5 teams. We would have still had issues but not nearly as pronounced had some/most/all of them stayed. We certainly did not have the talent to run Walters DEF or the air raid OFF. On both sides of the ball we should have schemed to the talent available. We did not do so on OFF until late in the season and NEVER did so on DEF. If time and repetitions were an issue then were were for certain running the wrong schemes. BTW There was nothing new about the Big Ten last season but there definitely will be this year.
"We'll see who was wrong."
We will. The sad thing is that you don't get the fact that I would love for the team to be good. I just don't see it happening under current leadership AND I think that the Big Ten expansion puts us further behind the 8 ball.
