My theory is that Urban Meyer inherited less talent than Jim Harbaugh overall. I seem to remember Brady Hoke had some highly rated classes, especially his last two. 

We had no linebackers, questionable DBs, and an ok d-line overall (w/great John Simon).  

The offensive line was weak, as were the receivers. Running backs okay (obviously Carlos became great).  I think Braxton was the only 5 star talent on offense.  

Plus, we changed our entire offensive scheme to boot. And Urban had to deal with tat-gate fallout.

This mean Urban did more with less.  Can anyone here or staff like Remy or Birm back this up?
