Bruce Snyder had two really good years and one or two decent years at Kal and ASU, but they regressed (ASSU) by 1998. He's nowhere near elite. Even a "Doog" like me can see that.
He turned 2 different turds into title contending teams Bill. Good fucking hell how isnt that elite. Sorry bill but u fucked in head on this.
He had two really good years at ASU ('96 and '97). He couldn't sustain it and they reverted back to mediocrity. They were mediocre from '92 to '95 also. So in his nine years, he had two good to great years. They aren't really a power, but they have more resources and a better recruiting base than whOregon, WSU, Oregon State, Stanford, Kal (resources, recruiting base wise maybe they're a little behind), and Utah. They can recruit Valley of the Heat Stroke, SoCal, NorCal, NW (people want to get the hell out of the shitty weather), and Texas. Arizona schools can recruit Texas easier than Northwest schools (besides WhOregon and their bribes). West Texas including Midland, Lubbock, and Amarillo are closer than the Bay Area. SA, DFW, and Austin are closer to Phx and Tucson than Seattle.
