No, by my logic it's unfair to criticize Stitt for winning with "Delaney's guys" for a couple of years because, transfers notwithstanding, all of "Stitt's guys" his first two years coaching were underclassmen. And no, age (or "grade" as you put it) obviously doesn't automatically determine talent level, but even casual fans know that most college football starters are upperclassmen, for obvious reasons. And if we started a lot of freshmen the last couple of years that is either an indication that "Delaney's guys," who were by that time upperclassmen, were not very talented or that "Stitt's guys" were a helluva lot more talented than people give him or them credit for.
So by your standards, if Bobby is successful this year, it doesn't really count for him because he's got "Stitt's guys," right?
Bobby wasn't forced to keep the candidate he beat out for the job on as his DC. He won't have a coordinator competing for player loyalty. He's sent those players who couldn't buy in packing before fall camp. His offense and defense will be simpler so less player mistakes. He will accomplish better clock control which will keep players fresher. He knows how and when to fire up his team, and will have them believing they can win every game. He has a respectable if not better than average o-line. He has coaches who can figure out the other teams' schemes and adjust. He has HIS QB to start the season. We will have dominant special teams this year. In short, he has Stitt buried in just about every tangible and intangible category so I have much higher expectations for this team's success this year than most on here. I see the Griz beating MSU by 20 or more to not just get into the playoffs but secure a bye first round. If you don't see how SDSU's success the last few years is in a large part due to Bobby coming of age at that level, then you never played the game. Every year lately the BSC has a surprise team rise to the top and this year that is the Griz.
These are all great points, and you're right - I never played the game.
