Well it's not like the Option system at Nebraska was doing anything after Crouch left. I think what we have is an example of taking the next best thing cause there isn't anything better available.
So was Nick Saban....and Stevie the Spur, but they are doing well...
When Rich Rod took over WVU, he had a 3 win season his first year. Look, it takes at least 4 or 5 years to get the recruits in and for the system to work.
He had the problem that all members of the Fapiopoli League A fear.....he had a torn Roty Cuff......he won't be throwing the old shoe down the shaft for at least 5 months......and even if he does.....he'll never be as fast as he was.
