what we are seeing IMO is a change of philosophy.
We can’t afford to pay on potential. Then they watch these old teams fuck up our developed here talent and that had to confirm some things.
We are going to pay the starters starter money and then pile in the freshman for reserves. The ones who show the ability to start will be retained and the ones who don’t are gone.
Then we rinse and repeat in the portal. I’ve got a good understanding now of what they’re trying to do and I couldn’t agree more with it.
For example, instead of a first year starter at both NB and S it seems likely we’ll plug in two players who both were all conference players, both have multiple years in college football with starting experience, and both have 4 int in one season (assuming we get the Duke kid).
That’s way better than Delane and Scott who haven’t done anything.
Quoting the great Gordon Gekko- “ I don’t throw darts at a board. I bet on sure things”.
