Sark, Pete, Lake and DeBoer inherited way better roster situations than Fisch.
I’m not saying we might not have to fire Fisch at some point so don’t twist.
But Creedence needs to be given to how hard year 1 was going to be. If Fisch was 6-1 right now it be some very impressive stuff.
On another note, I’m guessing home field advantage on the long road trips will prove to be a big deal in the B1G moving forward.
DeBoer isn't here anymore. Lot of crying over spilt milk.
The admin isn't perfect but it gave enough of a shit to make the best hire available when we were the last team looking for a coach.
The OL feels like they really put it together for a play here and there and then have massive breakdowns. The OL situation and some other situations required some rabbits out of the hat pulls to exceed expectations and nothing happened.
Fair and I'm not an anti Sark guy on here. I think the situation he walked into in 2009 was really friendly though compared to what Fisch took over at Arizona. Not that I've deep dived that roster or anything. Having Locker there was huge for Sark.
The O line thing is infuriating and the first major red flag following the Fisch hire. Fisch knew our o line was decimated after last season and yet, as the OP pointed out, he put in almost no effort into getting portal guys for that position. So what we're left with is a bunch of freshmen from the 2 years that Huff couldn't recruit and some grad transfers that should be playing at some place like UC Davis
I don't Fisch to me right now seems like one of the several guys hired at like a Tennessee or Nebraska or Florida who had success at a smaller school and is decent but now at a program that's kind of lost in the margins and he's not a miracle worker. Had he been set up better I could have seen him be like a Neuheisel who has some quick early success, but he was given a really hard setup so he's more like Neuheisel in 2002.
I couldn't picture Lambo or Sark taking a program like Arizona the way he did and building them up.
Nothing changed with me.
The line was a lot better with McCree in. That was a massive loss
The coach sucks. In over his head. Wait for the blowouts @ penn st and @ ore and the loss @ indiana and 3/4 this board will feel the same way. He fuckin sarked us
