MilitantEagle {l Wrote}:b) you already admitted several months ago that the QB recruiting was subpar under Jags. Now Davis tears it up in one JuCo game and everything has changed??
c) Nobody thinks Jags was submarining the school, he was just bad at QB recruiting. He brought in Davis, Tuggle and Marscovetra. Davis I can excuse because it was a difficult situation, but Tuggle and Marscovetra were not great pulls. I think Tuggle had a Miss St. offer. Marsco had none.
It's okay, HJS. We all have our weaknesses. Jags isn't any different.
(b) I certainly believe Jags could've done better at recruiting QB. In particular, I think him and Logan didn't realize how difficult it would be to recruit a Logan-style QB to BC (both because of the uniqueness of BC and the increased competition for such players as everyone want to now run the spread). That said, I don't think he "gave up" and "couldn't be bothered" in recruiting the position. I will give them credit for identifying talent (see players like Jacory Harris) and being on them before the world came in and stole them. I will also say that Tuggle and Marscovetra as back-ups to the A-list have proven to be decent.
(c) PLENTY have said that Jags sucked at recruiting and that is the reason he HAD to go.
For the record, while I liked Jags, I never thought he was the best we could do... or that he was some virtuoso. I actually thought that his success was PROOF that just about any decent coach could have this program performing at a very high level. I believe TOB was an average to slightly below average coach and think that Spaz is proving worse. As anyone can remember, I wouldn't have cared about the Jags termination if GDF was then able to go out and make a real hire as a replacement. The turtling up and going with Spaz is what did him and this program in.
