That’s 15 very good commits.
This. He's a great recruiter and a shitty football coach.
Not this.
He's a shitty recruiter and a very good game day coach. Much like Spaz, Addazio was a damn good coordinator. That is coaching players UP. UNLIKE Spaz, he has been able to take his ability to coach players up and win just barely enough games in the season to keep his job as head coach. He gets maximum productivity from marginal players who probably don't deserve scholarship offers from an ACC school.
You got it exactly backwards Teddy.
HJS, the kids all did right. Every one of them. They accepted these offers to BC and that was the right thing to do (for them.) And we are all happy (for them). But just because we are happy (for them) it doesn't mean we have to be happy about a ceiling of 7 wins. Because that is what we are looking at.
Everyone on this board is right about the ultimate problem. And what is the problem here? The problem IS Addazio. He has to go. He is not going to take this football program to where any of us want it to be. But the diagnosis that some of you have made of the problem is entirely incorrect. Its not the job he does on game day that is the ultimate problem. Instead, he doesn't have that much to work with on the field because
he can't sell. He can't sell top blue-chip recruits to come to BC. And at a school like BC, selling the 3 and 4 star recruits is even MORE IMPORTANT than being a good game day coach. We are stuck with marginal players. If getting the 12th best class in the ACC (out of 14 teams), getting the 53rd best class in the nation (when there are only 65 Power-5 schools in the nation) is something to celebrate, don't you think that maybe THAT is the problem? Why is it that we are always hoping against hope that the 5th year transfer student can give us the wins when the players that Daz recruited, can't?
