Bro, how do you not view a post like this as residual mopery from last season lol. It's like your scared of believing 9 wins is our floor - or allowing others to have a positive view of this upcoming season. You keep on acting like you have to take into account us finishing with sub 8 wins and how Mario will be able to recruit around that as a potential scenario. Why? What if Dawson and Guidry leave and they bring other coaches with them? How come we don't have to account for that factor and how it'd impact recruiting today? I mean it IS a potential result, right?
Last year you underestimated how good of a recruiter Mario is. And this year you're underestimating how good of a coach/organization builder he is. Pretty simple, lets stop with the ultra negative what-ifs. Just say go off what you actually think is going to happen, no need to make so many qualifiers.
Saying if we suck it'll impact recruiting isn't a surprise or new information to anybody lol, everyone understands that. So Really don't know why you're trying to temper expectations or why you even want to act like you honestly think it shouldn't be armageddon here if we finish with 8 wins or less. You will absolutely be one of the top dudes moping around if we only have 8 wins - regardless the reason lol. It wouldn't even be moping at that point lol. You won't be saying hey guys back in the summer I said this was possible, so we really shouldn't overreact right now... **** no. We win 8 games and people will be ****ed, and they should be. There is zero reason to temper extremely low expectations. If you were saying hey guys Making the CFP shouldn't be the expectation, you'd be making a good point. But you can't say we need to temper the expectation of progress/improvement. That is the expectation no matter what coming off the last 2 seasons. 8 wins isn't progress.
