It is painfully true. Look at the current recruiting classes of the top 10 teams in the nation and compare their 4-5 star recruits to NU. It is obvious that talent in recruiting is an absolute.

Rizeabuv Yorzelf

without any other metric, the average star ratings reflect that decline

Terry Busch

It's a flawed study because it assumes 'percentage of blue chippers' is a useful way of measuring recruiting class strength. Sam McKewon writes: http://squareoffs.co/1bOZ4YB

McKewon completely shreds the shallow piece of work that SB Nation calls journalism. I could write a book about why it was so poor and why our recruiting is actually getting noticeably better.

I foresee another 94/95 team in the jell.

We need a complete overhaul of personnel. Coaching is there, talent isn't.

Glad to see an acknowledgement that the O wasn't working. This shows some urgency about winning which I appreciate.

Bill Greim

Seems pretty obvious that when something is not working very well and you don’t know how to fix it you bring in outside experts for advise. Common practice.

Brad Bredenkamp

Holgerson has enough experience that he should be able to watch some film and the players in practice and call plays that play to their strengths. I'm betting he is also smart enough to stick with what's working until the other team stops it, and to develop some offensive rhythm.

Robert Lloyd

Anything is better than Satterfield. But I don't know why we didn't go after the US Army's OC who only makes $190k and absolutely knows how to run the ball.

Brad Bredenkamp

Because Army's OC can call the triple option and run the ball, but he probably doesn't know how to call for a pro-style quarterback. Plus it is very unlikely that Army's OC is going to jump ship right now the way their season is going. Maybe gets a look after the season if Holgerson doesn't stay.

Dick Plock

Needed change for quite a many games. Our offensive & defense coordinators are being out smarted.

Jean McGee

Satt has been wasting Raiola’s passing strength.

I refuse to get my hopes up

Installing a whole new offense would be very difficult. You might be able to refine a small portion but learning the timing and terminology would be difficult.

michael daly

The habits of almost 2 years don't change overnight. That being said, A new , more forceful, high expectation coach, might be able to snap them awake and Go
