The program is a much better recruiting team with Fick, but the style switch has been brutal. UW lacks athletes at key positions, they do not have a key deep threat WR, the RB is just okay and our CB and safeties are just average or above.
Like it, hate it whatever, PC and Jimmy L left things fairly bare because they refused to recruit like the big boys and now you see it. Fick gets a really good class in next year and the following yr is shaping up decent.
As for this yr 5-6 wins maybe. I had several folks message me( not here) about them cutting bait, but to who? LL might leave Kansas but he's in his twilight years. Sean Ryan is about the most realistic, the coach from Washington State maybe after that not many would go to UW.
The smart move is to let Fick build, take your lumps this year, and hope for 25 to be his breakout.
Last note, PC isn't on anyone's list for a HC anymore, Jimmy L went back to the NFL as a position coach and also fell off the radar. That says a lot and how much Wisco folks overrated them... yeah they are hometown heroes but in this case not a good thing.
