We fans want better recruits and dont ya think the coach does as well? (duh.) It is hard to recruit elite or even a four star kid to Ames, Ia because we have not had sustained winning and the fact that we are the northern most school in a south heavy conference. Aside from that we did not have very good facilities either it has gotten a lot better lately just at a slow pace.
The SEZ needs to happen sooner than later when recruiting a high end player and he visits its hard for them to imagine what the SEZ would look like when its not there to look as some say "big time." Now with the new football only facility that will help get better players because well its there for the eyes to see and the senses to come alive. We also do not have strong QB play or a very strong OC either so that has to change. So the offense needs to play according to who we have as players not saying this cannot be successful it can and not saying we do not have good players we do, but the coaching needs to get better as well to put all the pieces together to have success.
Other only answer is I guess start cheating like the big boys, but we have morals here ( I hope.) Also I will add into the mix how about Sage be the QB coach?
