Not sure why you would doubt him.  He was a hell of a DC, and his only head coaching gig left him with 4 of his best players, including any QB with experience, off the roster.  Good recruiter as well.
Well mostly because his first season at UC sucked, but now that you mention it I also wasn't too impressed by his ability to tie the OSU school record for losses in a season that was sandwiched between an outright 2010 Big Ten Title (vacated) and an undefeated 2012, with a roster loaded up with a bunch of guys that played on one or both of those teams. 
But hey, here we are. I was wrong. Kudos to him.

There are still massive problems, but at least Lewerke makes the throws that are there.  Lombardi doesnt.  Problem is how rarely the throws are even there to be had.  No blocking, no separation from the receivers.  What like 4 presnap penalties already?

And LJ Scott injured again.  Clear that even at like 70%, he's so much better than anyone else MSU has.  Heyward isn't a RB.

Missed offsides.  Not that the offense could have done anything with the fresh set of downs anyway.

When you lose your only good Wr - Posey, and your only experienced QB-Pryor, and your best RB- Herron, expectations aren’t going to be too high.
Also- not realistic to compare what Meyer did in 2012 in the mix, given he inherited a Braxton Miller with a year under his belt.  Fickle is a good coach, very well respected.

Yeah but those are kind of just excuses though, aren't they? 
Pryor and Barrett both won Big Ten Titles as Freshmen. And neither of them were as good as Miller. 
Besides. Miller picked up the Urban Meyer offense in one Spring session, as a Freshman, and then won his next 24 games.
Now I'm not saying that Fickel should have won the Big Ten Title in 11. It was a peculiar situation, no doubt. But what he did instead was he took his drivers test in a Ferrari, and wrapped it around a tree.

#2 S&P+ defense, #114 offense.  For comparison, 2013 was #2/#73.  So we don't even need to be good, let alone great, just middling.  UL Monroe is currently #73 in S&P+ offense.  Just be UL Monroe.

Turf is crap.  Better get this crap fixed before they play the national championship on it in a week.  Guys are slipping all over the place.

Three trips inside the 30, 3 total points.  I think Oregon has only crossed midfield once.  Said against Nebraska they'd break through late with all the points we left on the board, and I'll say it again.

Outgained them 233-90.  Left way too many points on the board.

I know Michigan State's defense is really good, but is the Pac 12 so bad that Oregon somehow got 8 wins? 

I thought the ACC was bad.
