"Bill sucked for 4 seasons in a row before this season."
Not necessarily true. '09-'10, '10-'11 weren't stellar seasons but come on, you can't honestly hang those seasons on Snyder. Our talent level and depth were abysmal compared to this team and, aside from a handful of playmakers, our talent level is pretty average this year.
Bottom Line. Everybody wanted Patterson. When Gary got fitzed, some fans never recovered. And we've been hearing them talk crap ever since. Until now... that is.
Who's responsible for bringing in talent? Who else would you hang it on?
Ron Prince was responsible for the upperclassmen that Bill had to work with. I wouldn't say that Bill did a shitty job his first two years, because he did show improvement (though miniscule). Those were shitty teams, but it wasn't necessarily a shitty coaching performance.
