Recruiting class was 40th previously to Top 5 his first year! He also had 3 Top 5 classes and the '08 class was a couple prospects from being #1 (but 'Bama signed 32) with 23 recruits. Clausen, Te'o, Floyd, Aldridge, Young, Gray, Kamara, Ragone, Crist, Rudolph and Cierre Wood were ALL 5* guys going into their Senior seasons and two of those guys were ranked #1. I'd love to have that kind of recruiting success right now, but injuries really did in his classes. High scoring offenses but bad defenses were a problem during that tenure.

It was time for a down cycle. - koreasam - 12:01pm 5/19/23 (20) [View All]
- Freeman is turning the program around. Just look at the roster and you will see the transformation - tky21 - 10:58pm 5/20/23
  - Whether or not he stumbled? - WoodstockIrish - 8:12am 5/21/23
- 10-2 w/a NY bowl win - Freeman good or bad? [NT] - LanceManion - 8:30am 5/20/23
  - It would be a significant improvement over the current trend in regard to games and records. [NT] - oldirish - 10:29pm 5/22/23
  - Acceptable, but nothing to extend a contract over. - Chrisb - 1:22pm 5/20/23
    - Acceptable record and end result w/Bowl win but guess it depends on how we got there. - Rocketman84 - 5:19pm 5/20/23
- I’m imagining the sad person that you are in real life needing to assume the worst in order to not - BaronVonZemo - 11:34pm 5/19/23
- Davie, Willingham & Weis did not connect and were horrible recruiters. - Curly1918 - 2:39pm 5/19/23
  - Would've loved to have Weis' offense to pair with a Davie led defense WOW!! [NT] - Rocketman84 - 9:37pm 5/19/23
  - Davie was decent as a recruiter, Weis was one of the best - ndunabomber - 4:07pm 5/19/23
    - Davie had those great Texas connects [NT] - Rocketman84 - 5:28pm 5/19/23
      - Yeah, his time with RC Slocum did prove valuable - ndunabomber - 6:31pm 5/19/23
        Davie recruited Top 5 classes from '97-'99, Helluva defensive coach that hardly allowed 20ppg! But.. - Rocketman84 - 9:36pm 5/19/23
    - I think Weis's problem in recruiting was lack of balance and/or filling needs. - NDavenue - 5:04pm 5/19/23
      - I think if the transfer portal was available to Weiss, he may have had much better results. - Shadow_of_the_Dome - 9:00pm 5/19/23
        More then likely a 'Chip, Defense needed depth and that '05 class depleted with the firing. - Rocketman84 - 9:27pm 5/19/23
      - His problem was the Defense in general, the Offense was dynamic! [NT] - Rocketman84 - 5:32pm 5/19/23
        lol...is dynamic the new slang for tragically inconsistent? - Chrisb - 12:35pm 5/20/23
