Foster inherits a ton, including a starting QB, most of his OL, a WR room stacked with talent, two proven running backs and (until he broke it) a deep TE room. On D, he returns two potential all conference DTs, some decent-to-good LBs and a veteran secondary.
Chip inherited the youngest team in college football comprised mostly of Fr, RSFr and So players, a decimated OL (7 scholarship players, IIRC), and no QB. His second team was also among the youngest in the sport and with this depleted talent, in both his first two years, Ucla played the toughest schedule in the conference. Yet, despite the dilapidated talent and the difficult schedule, Chip hating peckers came out in droves.
It's difficult to see how you could be further off in your analysis.
You seem to have facts backwards here.
Foster gets one season of grace period. It's beginning to look likely that 2024 will be his best year.
Chip rebuilt a broken program and now Foster looks capable of breaking it once again.
In any case, your argument shouldn't be with me, it should be with Ucla and how badly they've mismanaged the program for going on 30 years now. In the NIL era they've fallen flat on their faces.
