If he recommits upshaw or brings in a strong replacment this year for what would have been upshaw's ship, it will go a long way to him getting a chance.
I agree that he needs to hit on Semi and maybe bring a kid with him from Ill commits(were there any dece ones)?
Also, he needs to not play a slow, grab ass, type of Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) doc ball. Unless you are Bo ryan, you can gtfoomf with that crap.
I want what Gottlieb described as far as offense goes.
Most importantly, he needs to hire a really good recruiter. Like a really good one. Every non goEMAW'er is saying how good of a coach this guy is, he needs to prove it by pulling an assistant that wants to work for him and will bring kids.
He needs to shed the nice guy bullshit. We are the angriest fans in America and are housed in the motherfucking Octogon of Doom(nationally recognized as being badass). He needs to take on our personality rather than the other way around because, I swear to god if the polite townie nice guy crap flies he will fail.
