I think it took McCartney 8 years to build the recruiting and staff/
Being consistent and committed to someone proves to be the winner (with the exception of schools like USC where everything is already there) these days. I don't care how much CU struggles the next couple years, took Mac a while. Give the guy time, if he can't produce results in 3-5 years, then there is a real problem. Ask Clemson, Tommy couldn't produce after 9 years... I just don't think they were ever going to take the next step, it'd been proven.
By the time Darrell Scott is a junior the Buffs will be one of the top 4 teams in the Big 12.
I'm a 4 season guy. If dan hawkins can't have this team getting a " WINNING SEASON" by year 4 then I question the ability for him to get it done here.
I'm not asking for a north title in year 4
I'm not asking for a big 12 championship in year 4
I'm not asking for a NC in year 4
I'm asking for a winning season, that's 7-5.
No excuses,no zen,no BS.
7 wins in year 4, if that's asking too much, this program has hit rock bottom.
ok. lets put it on the line. in this vote harvesting season, lets vote some more.
where do you stand?
well said
welcome rep
if you were in any doubt that the buffs were at rock bottom a few years ago, with absolutely NOTHING in the cupboards, then maybe you need to reflect. i'll bet you woulda kicked coach mac to the curb, if you were old enough.
Mac is a great person, met him and back then in 82-85 I was in high school.
I know people like to use comparisons but hawk has an uphill battle. Mac didn't have to deal with okie state,tech,mizzou,kansas,tech and even texas being this good.
Times have changed and those recruits from texas,michigan and louisiana are far and few between now.
I also understand how bad the situation was at the end of 2005, I get it. But for anyone to tell me we can't or shouldn't have a winning season in year 4 is mind boggling. I mean think about that,this wouldn't fly anywhere else, nowhere.
You bring in a new coach and staff and you're telling me that it's crazy to ask or think they should have a winning season in year 4?
I know I harbor the point and such but it just really burns me because it's not asking much or in better terms expecting a winning season when this staff has been here 4 years.
