The program is currently on a pretty clear downward trajectory. He's got this offseason to fix it in terms of staff, but I'm not sure he thinks the defensive coaching is an issue, incredibly. We'll find out I guess. BoB is going to be gone, though, at least.

But it's more than that. The program isn't tough anymore, isn't disciplined and isn't built around faceless men who perform like robots. He talks about mental pressures and anxiety, talks about how hard the kids are working and how bad they want to win, discusses personal value, etc etc. I dunno if it's the age thing or the NIL thing or what, but the entire structure of the program has changed and the results are pretty clearly showing that the change was negative. I'm not sure he has the ability to get that back at this point in his career.

I said in another thread "age". He's 71, not 60. I don't think a lot of people realize how much effect this has. If he can find great coordinators who can take more on around him, it could work, but those guys will get hired away.
