In my 40 years watching the Cougs, no coach has won more game with less talent than Leach. What other coach could get 8 wins out of this group? Granted, the P-12 was as weak, top to bottom, as I've ever seen it, but we didn't have a talent advantage over anyone.
But smoke and mirror can only get you so far. For Leach to get to the next level, i.e. win the big game, he needs to hit this recruiting class out of the park (relatively). New facilities, back to back winning seasons, 5 years at the helm, Paul Wulff, who? If not now, it is never going to happen on the recruiting front.
If we have yet another bottom rung recruiting class (10-12), we need to just accept the fact that this is as good as it is going to get for the Cougs under Leach.
I'm going to keep my fingers crossed.
