We seemed closer to beating "BCS" teams when Tom Rossley was coaching here..........several wins agains Arkansas plus close games against UCLA, Wisconsin, UNC - if nothing else he wasn't being paid $2 million per year.

I agree on the point about Rossley. Much more competitive vs. major foes. Much more intensity from top to bottom, too.

It's about as long as it takes for everyone to learn the complex offense.

Are you counting the current recruiting class or are you staring with the 2015 class?

the number of classes will be dependent on how long RGT continues to kiss JJ's poto. New coach - results will be much faster. Same coach - no real change until the stadium is totally devoid of fans and somebody finally 'gets it' that we need a) a change in coaching and b) wins agains major BCS teams to get butts in the stands.

It is not the number of recruiting classes that is needed. It is the quality of the class from top to bottom. Age of the offensive coaches is a problem. They are relying more on transfers to come in and be the players rather than recruiting and developing them. Their best days are behind them. More interested in not being late for their tee times in this stage of their lives. Priorities change as one gets middle-aged and above. Compare to Patterson who is never satisfied and is willing to play the part of the bad guy to keep the fires stoked with his players AND coaches. If I wasw the athletic director I would contact as many of the top high school football coaches in Texas and ask for their opinions of SMU and the football staff.
