One positive thing TPC (the previous coach) did for the MSU brand is label it a “developmental program.”
My hope is that we keep believing this about ourselves..... no pun intended...... because we are. Our blue collar work ethic and struggle to compete for 5* players is In our DNA. I hope we continue to own this about ourselves.

1- there is no reason to abbreviate something that isnt commonly abbreviated and explain what it means if you dont then use it at all again.
2- Interesting viewpoint- embrace the mediocrity.

Disagree. We develop players, but every coach should develop players. As Dan got our program more desireable, he stepped it up in recruiting. No reason to see a drop off in recruiting, that's why we need someone with credibility and not a Bill Clark.

We need someone to come in and keep the class together and say to recruits, "Here's my track record." And that's not a track record of HS football and 2 years at a crappy UAB program with literally zero expectations.

I suppose I wasn't aware of our "blue collar ethic". In fact, I'd say almost all graduates are white collar workers.

Agree. We certainly need to aim higher.
