Is anyone else concerned that we won't completely suck next year? You know, assuming things don't actually "pop" and we suddenly become good. We had a couple of good recruiting classes that are becoming experienced, but not as much talent behind them (which could be depleted further with anymore transfers), and I can't imagine Hawk's recruiting getting better while working as at least a semi-lame duck. If we are somewhere in the 6-6 range next year, that allows the administration to say: "look, things are going in the right direction." But I'm worried that will just lead to another 2-10 season after most of our talent leaves, and the next coach will have nothing to work with. At least bringing in someone now would have allowed them to get off to a good start and hopefully keep it rolling from there.
Don't get me wrong, I hope things work out, I'm just having a more and more difficult time finding reasons for optimism.
