His first recruits, which didn't come until his 2nd year would be 3rd year sophomores or juniors. Hardly seasoned veterans like a 4th or 5th year senior. The next coach will reap benefits of Shula's recruiting. 10-2 in 2007.
I highly disagree. Juniors are considered to be seasoned vets on the college ranks. Just look at how many leave after their junior year.

Who's erasing a year? I'm making a point. You keep bringing up one out of FOUR years. This year was probably the easiest schedule we've had in recent memory and probably will for quite sometime.. yet we go 6-6? And lose to Mississippi State?

Nah, I know he would not have built anything. Look back at his coaching as I have said before. He was the Offensive Coordinator with Tampa Bay. What was the knock on Tampa Bay all those years? Great D, but terrible O. After he was FIRED from there when his offense was NEVER ranked higher than 22nd in the NFL, he went on to be the quarterbacks coach at the Miami Dolphins.
Since Marino's retirement what's been the knock on Miami? Terrible QB play. Yeah sure they haven't had the best guys there, but the QB play was horrible.. point blank. Everything he's done, he's failed at, in the spectrum of coaching.
I don't wish any ill-will on him and I hope he's successful in whatever he ventures to next. Like I said, I think he's a geniunely nice guy, I just dont think he's a very good football coach.
