You guys are missing the point. That washington state team had a 2 million dollar budget and its first year ever with the pac 12 completely dissolved so much uncertainity and basically regulated to a g5 conference and he had to RECRUIT 75 new players was hired after the portal already opened and took that team to 7 wins with 2 extremely close loses to playoff teams at their home field and another to a top 25 virginia team.
We have 15 million dollar budget in a stable p4 league. We are going to be just fine. We are going to keep some good players and depth. We are going to hit the portal in a much less uncertain and positive situation and we are going to compete and honestly I think we are going to surprise a lot of people and clearly a lot of those people are in our own fanbase. But for gods sake lets not make it harder on our coaches who choose to be here and lets support them !
We have a bunch of coaches who know what it takes to win national championships which is hard at any level. Now they have a better resources and selling points to get better talents and with championship habits lets see. Im really excited to see what they can do and this might be just the change we needed to finally get over the hump. Who knows but whats the point of thinking anything else?
