Yeah I mean if you just ignore his recruiting track record and the fact that everyone gets hit hard by the portal now it's certainly an opinion you could reasonably arrive at. But you can't just ignore those things.

Nope. And one thing but often mentioned, is just because someone left, doesn't mean we didn't have an opportunity to keep them. No doubt there's tampering.

So let's say Griffen might've said I need $XX to stay, because that's what he was offered from Tamper State. The staff obviously knows what guys are getting and expecting, and decided that at $XX, they find someone better for less.

There's a reason you don't want to get into huge bidding wars, it eats the rest of your budget. And is one get is getting a ton, and the rest of the team a fraction, you can end up with resentment and chemistry issues.

So the coaches are doing a dance. A horribly organized, crooked as hell dance. But still a dance. Overall, they've done a great job of navigating the shitstorm.
