There's plenty of carping about our recruiting strategy lately with virtually no pushback because it's actually a problem. But people saying that we're on a clearly downward trajectory when we're one of the 10 winningest programs during Shaw's tenure? It's like, what the hell do you want?

To not be on a clearly downward trajectory.

Of course we're not going to be Rose Bowl good every year. It's simply unsustainable given where the game is at right now (and given the aforementioned recruiting strategy). So naturally anyone who expects it will be disappointed, and that's what we're seeing.
