I agree that the strategy and decision making are worse than the resource
constraint. I don't doubt that we are out-funded by other schools, but we just make SO MANY terrible decisions.
Stupid roster decisions with all the RBs when Fuente was here.
Stacking this team with receivers when the QB's strength isn't downfield passing.
Using the wrong players.
Putting double unis on the field.
The WORST clock management in D1.
Overpaying for unproven assistants.
Jumping the trigger and giving them extensions after a mediocre 7-6 year.
There is some old basketball coach that has a network and can find gems. Either that our build an in-house recruiting and evaluation team (that Whit certainly can't do).
Why did Hysier Miller end up here? Most likely because we don't know what the hell we're doing. Savvy coaches probably knew he might be trouble so he fell to us.
It is hard to overstate just how bad our internal operations suck. That's what it looks like to me. That is even worse than the money situation. Just a dumbass fire drill operation. The one we keep seeing over ... and over.
