[QUOTE="acedarney, post: 848958, member: 1111"] I chuckle reading all this. Everyone thinks Stansbury had a plan to rebuild the roster, then start building up the coaching staff, all while doing a great job in the non-revenue sports. I'm sure he did have a plan, and he gambled it all with the 7-year contract. A few comments: [LIST] [*]This idea of a historic rebuild is a lie...it's gaslighting so you will lower your expectations. This was a 7 or 8 win team with a consistent top-30 or so offense. It's been followed by three years of historically bad teams, not because they needed to, but because they chose to. They chose to not play winning football so they could play "pro-style" football. These three teams are probably the worst Tech teams in 25 years.
