This is more what I was thinking, and this post seems to be quite accurate Login to view embedded mediascUM fans were going to jump for joy regardless of who was hired. But Kyle really isn't much different than Kirk. He will win the games he's supposed, and have an occasional upset. But still have a 9-10win season ceiling. And he's not coming with the QB whisperer mystic like Hairball.
Offense will more than likely be better than what Ferentz is rolling out at Iowa these days. I do expect the scUM D to actually hit a real drop off though, they've stumble into NFL Caliber DCs recently now they are moving back to a mere college level DC who's never been tested at the highest levels.
This is mainly why they settled on him, he's more than likely to bring zero controversy and the higher ups there know it's going to take a long time to fix things after their recent fiascos. They coulda done worse but they aren't gonna be any better than the better pre cheating Harbaugh years
He's too good a coach for this to be a disaster. I think the floor with him is 8-5, maybe 7-6 if they can't plug holes on the roster. If he's there five years, I expect a few 9-4/10-3 seasons, with maybe an 8-5/11-2 mixed in. This is a "steady" hire, not a "dynamic" one, IMO.
The year to watch is 2027, year 2. Strikes me as the kind of guy who comes in and gets more out of the talent some shitbird left behind and couldn't do anything with (Tressel scenario)
OSU fans should probably pump the brakes on that one themselves.
Utah was using a converted running back to cover a bunch of future 1st rounders because they were so depleted. All in all given the talent disparity, you really can't argue that Willingham did "more with less" that game.
I wouldn't be shocked if cultures clash and it does end up being a disaster. But with their luck they will be a stable 9 win team and maybe make the playoff like 2/5 years (being eliminated early)
