SB Nation grades 1st year coaches (after 2016)
Full article if you'd like to take a peak.

Here are the coaches for the B1G (I just copied and pasted)

Lovie Smith, Illinois, 3-9: Smith, the former NFL head coach, did beat fellow 3-9 Big Ten team Michigan State. And Smith was able to bring in the nation’s 43rd recruiting class, which is the highest-ranked class for the Fighting Illini in five years.

But the defense, his specialty, fell from the top 20 to No. 59, per S&P+.

Grade: Wait and See

D.J. Durkin, Maryland, 6-7: Durkin’s first season was slightly encouraging in terms of on-field quality, but he had an impressive Signing Day. Durkin was able to bring in Maryland’s best-ever recruiting class, which finished 18th in the country and had eight four-stars.

His ability to successfully recruit the state of Maryland was another big positive.

Grade: Super encouraging

Chris Ash, Rutgers, 2-10: Rutgers lost to Ohio State, Michigan, Michigan State, and Penn State by a combined 220-0. When you include Rutgers’ losses to Indiana and Maryland, the Scarlet Knights lost to the Big Ten East by a combined 284-40.

On The Banks:

Ash needs time and one thing to be encouraged by is his evaluation and decision making. That’s what is important to focus on with a new head coach, who obviously doesn't have his players in place yet. Adding those skills along with an upswing in recruiting, equals a winning formula in place for Rutgers football in the long term.
Ash’s 2017 recruiting finished 42nd in the nation, Rutgers’ best class since 2012. Rutgers hired former Minnesota head coach Jerry Kill as its new offensive coordinator in December.

Grade: Wait and see

RE: SB Nation grades 1st year coaches (after 2016)
I don't understand a grade of "wait and see". What's the point of grading 1st year coaches if you give most of them wait and see grades. You might as well just admit its too early to assign grades.
