Yes, I do think he will be successful. It’s hard (almost impossible) to take a position on something like this given the current situation, but I think there’s a lot to look forward to.
I hate bringing up Clemson to support CJS stuff, but look at where Clemson was after losing to USF in the car care bowl. The foundation of what made them take off was good coaching and creating that family of a program, which CJS was a really important part of.
You can’t copy and paste the same story, but I think CJS has the mentality to build a foundation and is trying to get the infrastructure to support it. I think USF will be back in conference championship contention in the next 2-3 years, especially with some programs leaving to fellow G6 conference the Big 12. (Lol)
The difference in recruit quality in just one year is astounding. If we got Timmy & Jimmy under this type of team, imagine what is possible. The penalties are also less than before.
Feel free to roast me for this but this is just my perspective
