re: Post-Spring Transfer Portal Thread

That is a VERY POPULAR opinion. Position and coordinator coaches took a dip with a few notable exceptions.

I honestly think that was sort of the first thing to go with coach was the relentless due diligence on coaches and players. I always heard he had a binder full of potential coaches he found promising to bring aboard. By the end it must’ve been a laminated index card. And after retiring he would talk about the players being different now but he really had his pick of most of the players he wanted and part of the recruiting process is what kind of character do they have. I actually think a lot of the players showed a lot of character by sticking around post retirement.

Love coach to death and I think his last year he still had his fastball coaching. But if something started to slip it looked like it was the little things that are a grind.
