The start of the Locksley era seems to have an eerie similarity to the start of the Edsall era....an exciting early season victory, followed by a long and often excruciating swoon, then a frenzy of transferring players after the season. Even some players who were starters or getting significant playing time wanting out, which is less common. We knew that many Friedgen holdovers were not pleased with how Edsall handled the transition. I wonder if there was similar discord among the Durkin holdovers, but it was just much more quiet this time around?
Another similarity is that MD landed a huge 5-star WR in the first full recruiting cycles of both the Edsall and Locksley eras.
