No disrespect, but you should expect to get some pushback on this statement. Since 2018, he has recruited and signed the following:
Wiley Green (Highschool signee)
Parker Towns (Highschool signee)
Jovoni Johnson (Highschool signee)
TJ McMahon (CC signee)
Shawqi Itraish (Highschool signee)
Jake Constantine ( GS signee)
Shawn Stankavage (GS signee)
Tom Stewart (GS signee)
I don't count McCaffery as he seems to have fallen into our lap.
So, either we have horrible luck, horrible evaluation skills in QBs, or severely lacking in QB development. Or...or, maybe our offensive scheme is the issue.
As for being a great guy and mentor, I don't doubt that aspect of his character nor do I in any way seek to diminish the importance. However, along those lines, David Bailiff excelled as a great guy and mentor. And he took Rice to 4 bowl games. Yet, many on this board felt that it was time for Bailiff to go. Put it this way, Bailiff was hired in 2007. In 2008, Rice was in the Texas Bowl with a roster of 2* recruits.
Again, no disrespect, but don't expect Bloomgren to get much more grace.
