So Downs may be leaving.. that's certainly a blow to the program. But it's my experience that things are never as good or as bad as they seem.

This staff isn't even completed yet.. the sky isn't falling. We may take a small step backwards no doubt, but that's not an absolute certainty either.

Deboer is a really good football coach. He's putting together what I consider to be a really good staff.

Time will tell!

Donate to the collective, cheer for our team and lets see what happens. I have a feeling that when the smoke clears we will be ok.

Completely agree. It has to be expected that we were going to take a step back and that we'd lose a lot of players due to their association with a coach(es) and not the school. That is just the way it is now. We will grab some from the portal too. Maybe, just maybe, the DC and defensive staff we have coming in will make the defense better regardless of who is back there. We've had countless 5 stars on the defense for the past umpteen years and they have looked completely lost for the past 5 or 6 years. Let the new staff do their jobs and freak out later if it's not going well.
