    This is not true.

    The claim (at least from DDY/Coker) is not that recruiting is all that matters. The claim is that recruiting and coaching both matter, and since we now have elite coaching we are just elite recruiting away from legitimate contention.

    It's not a particularly chinsightful or revolutionary claim, they just have to keep making it because people seem to keep missing the point.

    Oregon doesn't have elite coaching. They aren't going to be better than us.
    I get your point, but I would argue that our coaching may actually not be Elite. It is good, to be sure, and elite on the D side of the ball, but our offensive philosophy is a pile of wet garbage and our ST this year looked like peanut butter being squished out a fat womans armpit. Not elite.

    We are one of 4-5 progrums to get into a NY6 bowl every year for the last 3 years. I would say that’s elite. Now we gotta fucking win.

    Disafucking-gree young padawan. Getting to NY6 Bowls in the worst P5 conference of the last decade, and then LOSING all three games is not Elite. What the fuck are you smoking? Our coaching staff is good, maybe very good. They have done quite well all thigns considered, but Elite? Not a fucking chance. Had they won 2 of those three bowls we could make an argument for it.
