Athletic Department would like to operate but it just isn’t happening very often in today's landscape. So much risk/reward to analyze without the luxury of time.
Back in the 80’s & early 90’s, the coaching argument was “give me five years minimum to build my program.” Now, many donors are tying their expectations to their cash & demand the ‘two steps forward’ while accepting no steps back’. NIL & the Portal are only making it more challenging with the most talented players on campus for half the amount of time they used to be. And social media & message boards only make things worse. MUST WIN NOW!
We could win out, crush a bowl opponent & finish top five only to have plenty of idiots calling for jobs with a7-5 season next year.
