You don't play freshmen unless you have to. Challenge, you obviously know nothing about football or football recruiting. We are playing freshmen now because we wasted two recruiting classes chasing the moon. There were almost 20 kids in the first group I saw come in three years ago, not one kid out of that group signed. Don't complain about your recruiting budget when you wasted the kind of money we wasted bringing in kids we had no chance of getting. That blame all falls on the head coach, he is responsible for the failures of his staff. All I hear are excuses for why they are not getting it done, some are legit, some are just Bull. The reason we are bad today is because of the failure the first two classes to get players that are competitive in the Big Sky. Two years is not going to make up for the failure of the head coach to take charge of his staff and bring in the kids he needed in the first two classes. As for JC kids, not all the kids in 81 were JC kids. Bud Hake, who I have heard compared to Zamberlien, could not coach his way out of a wet bag. But he could recruit. The players on the teams he had were not as bad as the record indicated, they were really badly coached. In addition, another school dropped football, look up Tom Walsh, we were able to get some players from that team. The three sources combined were what made up the 81 team, not just JC kids. Getting good JC kids who will come in the spring, and are eligible is tough. So far Zamberlins staff has not had much success.
