Mikeiastat- Sorry, I just don't consider a returning line-up of Stinson, Blaylock, Clark, and an experienced Jiri and Taggart to be a program in decline. Imo that team gets back to the NCAA and does some damage there, and we could have continued to build on that. We had DeGand coming off redshirt and good recruits coming in. That scenario could easily have happened had JP not undercut Morgan and staff in year 3. You may want to check on this but it's been posted on this board that the gpa was improved under Morgan from LE. And with Morgan's recruiting ability and great connections out east, I doubt his recruiting would have taken much of a hit if any. Morgan had already proven he could overcome losses like Haluska, George and Faulkner and still deliver big wins and winning seasons. The program was certainly not in decline. Decline is what we've suffered the last 4 years.
