Keep in mind that Shaw and Muir excavated a ditch deep and wide wherein TT finds himself right now. It's gonna take 3-5 years, luck and very smart maneuvering to reclaim this program. Not sure very many here are fully cognizant of this. As for pressers? Walsh I is still the standard. Followed by Harbaugh for comic relief.
I don't minimize the depth or width of the ditch, but if Taylor is the right man he could have us out of the hole (e.g., 6-6) in year two or three. Expecting a bowl by 2025 doesn't strike me as unrealistic. That would put us on timelines like what Harbaugh, Campbell, and Clawson managed. A realistic path is that our 2023 is about the same quality as our 2022 team, 2024 is decidedly better but still not good (like Teevens 2004 or Harbaugh 2008), and then 2025 turns a corner. That should be manageable if he's a good coach.
