I am in Sam's camp. Coach Bennett has done less with more resources (Ford, the Committment, relaxed standards, more money for assistants) than any other post DP head coach we have had. When you witness games weekly it is obvious preparation is poor, and game day adjustments non existant.
I think the want to and work ethic are definitely there, but at D-1 level, even mid tier D-1, that alone will not get it done.
