Coach Raetz has been openly critical of his players lately. Some of the things that he's said recently to the media make me think that it will be at least another 2-3 years before InSU can become competitive in the Gateway. I didn't know that they only brought 47 players with them to the MSU game this past weekend. That's unreal.
From the Springfield News-Leader:

[quote]Indiana State interim coach Dennis Raetz, on his 0-9 team:
"What do they say about problems? Eighty percent don't care and the other 20 are glad you have them. Obviously, we're not a very good football team right now. We just have problems all over the field."[/quote]
And from the Southern Illinoisan:

[quote]"We have problems all over the field," Raetz said. "Right now, we're not a good football team in any area."
One of the few bright spots for ISU has been the play of Shonda Faulkner. The senior linebacker has become the undisputed leader of the Sycamores' defense, and is fourth in the Gateway Football Conference with 9.8 tackles per game.
"We have very few kids who I think could've played when I coached before here," Raetz said. "But Shonda Faulkner has been one of those kids."[/quote]

It may take a few years. First you have to find the right coach and give him time to get some new recruits in. You have to sell them on being a part of the rebuilding process. Mixing a few good juco players in could help.
