You are really onto something here, Crockett.
I have said before...and I believe the evidence is mounting.. that not only did we have some deficiencies with coaching, but Herman seemed to have success recruiting a certain type of kid (not always but quite often) that wanted to be a quick and easy star. There are many exceptions...but just generalizing here.
And/Or...maybe the kids were capable, and pliable material, but had the wrong things shown them and implied or instilled which led them down the wrong path.
It is a great responsibility being a head coach these days....I think some of the guys must bear responsibility for their less-than-optimal circumstances....but it seems pretty clear the coach failed them overall...again, in general.
One thing that will help tell the tale is when we see what Sark can do with a few of these guys that Herman brought in. My guess is most will flourish under new leadership.
Unfortunately, it is likely too late for others.
