Agree, and the other question is does DeBoer’s current roster situation deter future coaches from jumping from program to program in the future?

I wouldn't think so in most cases. I think that the idea you can go to a new school and inherit a great roster is gone. Usually you are going to get a job somewhere where there is some turmoil.

The problem is you aren't going to have situations where Ryan Day takes over at Ohio State after the team goes 13-1 and gets to keep the roster in tact. If that happened today OSU would have had a big exodus too.

You can't leave a team in great shape anymore. When a coach retires or goes to the NFL that team is going to take a big step backwards.
