He'll need a top25 class to make up for this year.

He'll have enough schollies to hand out to get into the Top 25, but my benchmark will be for the team to be ranked in the Top 32 on Rivals.

As for Patcham... he is a good fit for what should be a run to 8-wins... which will definitely put a Top 25 class well within reach.


You are on fucking crack if you think this team is winning 8 games next year.

Hansen thinks we should be in the BCS the following year. What would you say he is on?


I can't imagine he said that. Did he?

Daz and Proud - Say it out loud!!


climb to 6-6 or climb to acccg?


Will take 4 years but back to the ACCCG


then he was not the right hire... the right hire could go 7-6 next year and then BCS game the following year


Haven't you and most posters (including me) been down on the last year of Jags/first 1/2 year of Spaz recruiting and all subsequent years of Spaz recruiting?

How would you analyze the current talent level on the roster?


the depth is not there but there is still plenty of front line talent to win 6 games in a shit conference and get to some shit bowl game (especially with a senior QB).


My question was more about your reference to right coach to BCS in year 2


i think the right coach could do it in the ACC. he would need to recruit his ass off but not impossible. would also have to give some reps to the backup QB to prepare for the following year. we would get blown out in the BCS game but thats irrelevant. my point is the ACC is not good and we are not that far behind.

i personally think the talent is not as bad as most make it out to be. the starters are serviceable for the most part. the backups is where the talent gap is noticeable. you could scheme around a lot of the weaknesses... the secondary, OL, DL. probably employ a lot of delayed LB blitzing to make up the lack of pass rush by the DL and play cushion in the secondary to prevent giving up the big play.

IF we hired the right coach.

I never said we were going to get the ACC's BCS bid with Daziani as head coach. I was saying if we hired a Jim Tressel type coach i.e. we made the right type hire, the type of hire a school like BC with a nice tradition and recent success deserves.

as for next year, now with Daziani having been hired, put me down for 6 wins and a bowl game. anything less should be a firable offense with this schedule.

I don't think the averages are overly helpful because they include three transition classes. Maybe if you take out 07, 09 and 13

HJS: Quit the BS with the 8 win nonsense for next year. I know you dont believe that this team is doing an 8-4 next year. You are posting it only so that if they get to 6-6, you can crush the Dazzler and say he underperformed. I will challenge you to find one out of the hundreds of preseason magazines, blogs, columns or whatever else that doesnt have your name on it that predicts 8-4 or better for BC next year.

I challenge you to find someone predicting 2-wins for last year's team. I think we go 7-5 and win some crappy bowl to give us 8-wins. I've already said that in this thread in response to your post choking at the mere concept of winning one more regular season game than most here are saying we will win (7-5 vs. 6-6). I predict that because (a) Spazoo was the worst coach ever in the history of the school, (b) our team is incredibly experienced (kinda like Miami's BB team that no one though would be any good) and (c) our schedule is pretty easy... bordering on ridiculously easy.

BC is one of the few teams in the country with a senior NFL prospect at QB. Even though the talent around his is suspect, with the weak ass schedule they have they should win 8 games next year on that alone. That said, given from where the program has come, anything over 6 would be fine, and I expect 5 because this staff doesn't know what to do with a pocket passer.

If VT is roughly of the same quality as they were last year, that's a game we should win. If they rebound big, then it'll be tougher to get to 7-5. Drawing UNC away isn't helping either, as I think they're poised to be pretty good next year. We have 3 (oh god, please, let us have 3) must wins in Stony Brook, Army, and NM State. From there it's just trying to pull as many wins out of Syracuse, Wake, NC State, and Maryland as possible. It'd help if VT and UNC weren't very good but we're going to have to wait and see. I think 6-6 is a reasonable expectation for a good coach.

I think 6-6 is the best to hope for, but I think 4 or 5 wins is a more realistic result. The Defense still absolutely blows and needs a major talent infusion, so that's not going away. I won't necessarily let the number of wins be the gauge for whether or not The Dazzler is going to be good for BC - but rather it will have to be progression out of the team, agressive gameplay and coaching, and most of all whether or not he can put together a good recruiting class in his first full year. If he fails to meet these benchmarks, we'll know that Bates f'ed up and The Dazzler hire will prove disastrous.

The defense isn't the defense anymore. The change in scheme will hide some talent deficiencies on D, and may actually revive the careers of a few corners that fell asleep in the cover 2 cushion.

I think it's telling that DB was a position that Daz pointed out as needing an increase in numbers. It's amazing how that happens if you play more than 4 at a time.

all the 7 and 8 win posters fail to recognize that the talent on our team is woefully deficient in comparison to the rest of our ACC bretheren. I will agree that Spaz was a hideous coach and casued the current condition of our program. Most everybody here agrees that the Dazzler was apoor hire and he is coming off a 4-7 season with a much weaker schedule. Rettig is our best player, but I see him throwing the ball a lot on 3rd and 6 or so next year. His numbers will be down. Brown was the best addition to the BC football program in about 3 years. I think he will shave some points off, but there is still no pass rush or CB's who can cover. I see many posters analyzing the following games as wins, NC St, Gt, Vt, MD and so forth. I guarantee you every poster on their boards are looking at BC and saying "AUTOMATIC WIN."

I don't know if I'd say they didn't care about the 2013 class but with limited spots I'd say 2014 was the biggest priority. On Patchan my UF guys said if he can stay healthy which is a big if the exact phrase from one of them was he's a fucking savage that you will love.

that said, there is NO automatic wins for this team next year. not one

Overall, it was a good day. I am not too concerned about not getting Robert Davis, whereas landing Patchan was huge. Patchan will be able to help us from Day 1.

This whole HJS stupidity of Addazio recruiting worse than Spaz is horseshit. You inevitably lose a few recruits from coaching changes, particularly when you completely clean house with the staff (which the fact that only Washington remains is a very very good thing). HJS is being a moron for believing that if Addazio was a good recruiter he would have significantly improved this class come signing day. Look at Golden's 2011 class, it sucks, and arguably worse than Spaz's 2011 class. At best Addazio would land maybe one or two quality recruits in 2013. The real test is for the 2014 class, and I have reasons to believe Addazio will do a very good job.

Patchan is huge if he stays healthy. And that's a big if. Wen isaw he commited, I first thought Spadazzio deserved some props for beating out tOSU. After I thought about it, the more reasonable explanation was that OSU wasn't interested and BC was his only choice because his health is a major liability.

Further HJS, you acknowledge that Spaz was a disastrous coach, and I agree with you 100%. Additionally you have been trashing Dazz since the hire in both his recruiting and poor coaching last year at Temple. And again I might agree with you. But this raises the question, how do you on one hand trash Dazz, and on the other have him turning this team into a 6 win improvement over last year.

If Addazio wasn't the coach, he wouldn't have even considered BC, he deserves credit for that

I think the talent is there. I think the schedule is there. I think we should win 8 games. However, shitty coaching can certainly lower that total. Crap. Ain't no effing way BC's talent was only worth 2 wins last year. I don't factor shitass coaching into the scenario.

Barely. He's a kid that knew Addazio at UF, decided to transfer because he never got on the field enough, and gets a one-year shot at a school that can guarantee a playing time opportunity - not to mention a great start to a grad degree. Talk to us when Addazio starts beating out other schools for high school kids looking to the next level. So far, he hasn't done that AND managed to lose kids that committed to a Lame Duck Spaz. Go figure.....

Rock.O's evaluation of Walsh FWIW:

Good kid, good athlete, good size. Average speed, slow release, strong arm. IMHO, he will end up at a different position. He was a good player in HS, but he was surrounded by other good players and all he had to do was distribute the ball, not carry the offense. He will be a solid citizen, but he was not even Ohio Univeristy's first choice at QB. And yes OU runs the spread read option. The same offense BC will be running. Lowrie will be Bordner's backup. They will recruit over Walsh in 2014.

As i said before Walsh's HS is in our league. My QB signed with Air Force Wednesday, and my back-up is a better QB than Walsh. Not a better athlete, but a better QB. He'll be a senior starter this year and he will end up playing in the MAC most likely, possibly low level BCS if he really lights things up.

BTW we have been running the read option as part of our package for at least 8 years. In my experience at the HS level we needed a different goal line approach and mentality so we would run a lot of 3 back stuff in the pistol near the goal line. All in all we had 7 kids sign D2 or above yesterday. That's a little more than usual for us. Air Force, Illinois, Miami were the headliners. Five more went D3 or NAIA.


Based on that description I think Walsh actually does make a lot of sense as a flier in a coaching transition class. He does not however warrant chasing off the best recruit in our class. I do hope I'm wrong though.

Not their first choice at QB? Walsh was the highest rated QB Ohio had ever gotten.
