You're talking about structure, but I remember when we had to build teams the hard way, not just plug in mercenaries. You mention Oklahoma State bringing in 50 guys, but that's the world now. You adapt or get left behind. Look at what Coach Deion is doing, it's no different than when we had to rebuild on the fly after Mike Price left. A smart coach uses the portal to fix holes fast. You think our 1988 Sun Bowl team had four years together? We had junior college guys and transfers then, too. It's about coaching them up, not whining about continuity. A real quarterback leader makes that locker room his in a month. If a guy can't build timing with new receivers by fall camp, he's not the guy you want anyway. Those third-down numbers you love come from play-calling and guts, not from how long you've shared a dorm. The great ones make it work. This isn't the 90s WAC anymore where you had the same roster for three seasons. The game has changed, and the best programs change with it. Michigan won a national title with a quarterback who transferred in, didn't they? So all this talk about system over talent sounds like an excuse for not being able to recruit the right guys. You build the system around the talent you can get, not the other way around.
