Two years later, we would have four poor seasons but would have four good recruiting years in a row. Despite the losing, the talent piles up.
At that point, we hire a 3rd coach -- a strategist. He takes the talented team and wins for two years.
We then take the TCU approach and use a couple of years of brief success to springboard us to a better conference, while hiring a 4th coach who is skilled at both recruiting and in-game strategy.
It's a lose-win proposition.
