MM has left Withers more talent to work with than Alex Wood left MM to work with in 99', and JMU managed to go 8-3/7-1 that season. There is enough talent for Withers to work with to go 8-3/6-2. Make that 9-3/6-2 with the extra OOC game.

That's not what MM said at the time. He earned his Mouth of the South reputation out of the gate that year when he said he couldn't understand how Wood didn't win with the talent on that team, and that they would make the playoffs that year.

And in comparison to the level of talent in the CAA today, MM has NOT left Withers the same kind of talent he inherited in 1999. On what would you base that statement?
