Money is certainly part of the problem.
However. Utah’s roster cost an estimated $18-22 mln. Sooooo. It’s not everything.
We’re failing everywhere. Coaching, player evaluation, recruiting, leadership, administration. Everywhere.

Whats important to remember is Hunter interviewed for the Auburn, Ms State, and was on his knees begging or the aggy job, among every other P4 job opening and a SEC office opening the last 5 years.
He doesn't want to do the fundraising aspect of the job his biggest positive of him being AD is he's hands off of coaching, zero meddling. Is this a positive when you realize it because he doesn't want to be here? He is also one of the highest paid ADs in the country.
He only fought for the CFP position to try to elevate his status in getting another job. The FSU job is open, Chuck may be able to help you have a couch to sleep on until you get on your feet Hunter.
