The only avenue for G5 schools to hold their own is continuity.
Find a system that works, then work it
All the other schools will chase their tails in 4 year cycles. New coach, new system, new recruiting philosophy, success, leave; new coach, new system, ad nauseum.
BUT,
Keep the system (tweaking is fine), keep the same recruiting philosophy, and interchange head coaches that will stick with USM's system. Ala Boise.
This way, you are always wayyyy ahead of the curve. No wasted seasons, with a chance at that 4th year payoff.
This we are not smart enough to do. Or either we are not allowed to do by those in charge.
All I'm saying.
