Question: do you guys think if we hired a more proven coach or maybe a more well known one he would've still left? Say Lanning for example? He has ties to Kirby and Saban, he is also a defensive minded guy. Just food for thought.

Likely. It’s worth the cost to pull talent away from UA to collapse support. Just reading these threads you can see it’s already happening.

I don't think any hire prevents this, personally.

Let's say UA NIL collective has $50M (random guess)

If every other school in the SEC ponies up $2M to steal a player, we can't compete. It's more about the damage to UA, and less about massive roster upgrades for others. We are competing with the entirety of college football to retain our players. Even UT couldn't handle that level of pressure.
