Pete's UW teams always felt like a really weird mix of elite players and guys who had no business being on the field.
Recent UW players tend to be technically sound or have the 247 sports 4 star pedigree attached to their name but lack intensity and grit.
You need a few Azeem Victors on the squad to keep the edge, otherwise you go 4-8.
A few Azeem Victors weren't going to keep last year's squad from going 4-8. The coaching was horrific. The Azeem Victors would have just been kicked out of games.
Great talent with mediocre coaching gets you 8-4. Mediocre talent with great coaching gets you 8-4...we have been watching examples of this both ways for far too long. I don't pretend to know what the proper ratio is, but since it is apparently unrealistic to have 10-12 coaches on a staff that can recruit like motherfuckers, and turn around and coach the shit out them, balance may get you close. And, the head stick needs to be a stone-cold killer, both ways...

Stating it positively, we now have a mortal fucking lock on doing things the "right" way.
Yay. So happy to hear the good news.

Now we get to do less with less.
