The Concept of Giving a Coach a Few Years to Build a Team

I expected more from him.  T. Williams has been injured but looked like Walton 2.0 during the preseason.  

The coaches did not have a lot of time to prepare.  Not a lot of time to scout.  Lets see what they do in the next draft but as of now, I agree, the infusion of talent may take longer than a couple of years.  

Which goes back to my point of can any coach succeed in this structure?

re: Scouting - Guess when the college football season is? Yeah during the NFL Season.

One would think the coaches would be watching tape of our opponents and customizing the gameplan. I don't really see that showing in the games. The intuitive HC's who are innovative do that. Taylor doesn't seem to have that ability.
