This is way it works at all successful schools. If you are a playoff team, the best you can hope for is to keep your coordinators for a couple of years. The key is identifying/bringing in high quality replacements.
Assuming you can land them.
They haven't been able to land a couple coaches they wanted and needed at DT/DL and WO so they settled because they had too. OC was a huge mistake in Yurcich, but those experiments happen.
While I have hope for our DT/DL coach Imo he's off to a slow start in recruiting which has the potential to change for the better we hope.
Coach K should be a big upgrade for the OC position, but we need players at the WO position, and I would say RB too going forward we are just one or two injuries away from OHOH. Next year we will need two new starters. We should have a couple guys who can get it done but need an upgrade in recruits there too.
I no longer use NIL as an excuse you just have to find a way to get it done. Losing some of the best PA talent is simply a black eye. Way Back in the day in upper management I had one mantra don't bring me a bunch of reasons why you can't get it done bring me solutions along with your plan and timeframe to make it happen.
Do we currently have enough of the right guys at WO to make the playoffs this year. My kneejerk reaction is no but I hope to be proved wrong. IMO coach K will have to be excellent in his schemes and style of attack each week especially early in the year until he and the squad get settled in together. I expect growing pains.
I hate to say it, but this team will go the way of Alar, so it's sink or swim. Pray he's got the new O under control and will be improved. He needs to be improved!
Bring on WVA. Let's see what we have. I'm ready for some PS Football.
