Exactly. Chizik, who actually had a lot of coaching experience and had a decent eye for talent, was the flash/name approach. We need a guy that knows how to grind his way to wins, and more importantly knows how to get players to do the same. In terms of recruiting, finding guys that will compete and develop themselves is more important than signing a better athlete that is still not as good as what the Big 12 gets.
I thought CPR had a chance to be that guy with him finding a guy like Knott in his first few weeks, hiring a guy like Wally, and shaping up the players Chizik and Mac recruited/developed. But it is clear he chases the wrong things to often in both recruiting and offensive schemes, and as a staff did not make tough teams. His recruiting reminds me too much of Mac's downfall once he got in scramble mode.
Has it ever occurred to you that he realizes that and will he'll improve in those areas, or is it simply too late for him to fix stuff?
