The talent you have on campus just isn't what you think it is. There are some good players but they're soft and they've been spoiled by the old staff. A lot of them were overated to begin with. Callahan and his staff's talent evaluation have proven to be poor. They cared more about a player's star rankings then watching film and they ignored character all together. That is why they ended up with a team that quit on them 5 games into the season.
NU may rise again but it's not going to be as easy as you think. As bad as this year has been NU's talent level is going to be down even lower next year then it was this year. Some attitudes are going to have to be seriously adjusted and I suspect some players are going to have to be weeded out. Also who knows what system the new coach is going to run he may want a mobile QB and different style of players then are currently on campus. It's going to take awhile to get back to the level you want to be at and meanwhile MU, ku and KSU all three are going to return good teams next year and CU is getting better as well.
