In the world of home remodeling, this is a total gut job....tear it down to the foundation and build it back up. This requires more than a coat of paint and some new carpet and that's all Petrino would do and he would be gone in a couple of years once the big schools feel he has rehabed his image.
CWT has been part of this type of rebuilding before, as an assistant at Stanford and as a head coach at WKU, and he will do it here. It's just going to take patience and time.
I agree 100% with you. Holtz is the equivalent mold infestation he put this program back 5+ years. USF football will need to be built up from the ground and it will take awhile. CWT has done it before and can do it again.
If a year and a half of bad football (actually just one year but I won't quibble) put this program back 5 years, we were in a lots worse shape than most imagined ...
I guess we are technically back 3 years. Only reason Holtz had any success the first year is he had
good players from the CJL years. As Holtz lost his CJL players his team got worse with time.
It will be atleast three years before we are back to winning our usual 8-9 games or more a year.
This year is going to be ugly. Buckle up
