Our coaches are paid small fortunes to find, recruit, develop, and retain talented football players.
If we were to do an honest assessment of our coaching staff, we would find that it is lacking in several ways. And it’s showing this year with Saint Hankwitz retired. We’ve been embarrassed by two quality B1G teams and demolished by one mediocre one (Nebraska). And don’t get me started about the debacle in Durham.
Hopefully our coaching staff can get it together, Marty returns, and we can eke three more wins for a bowl game. But there’s a real possibility that we’ll go 3-9 again. I thought Illannoy would be a guaranteed win but they had one of their best wins in years today.
And another 3-9 (or 4-8) season should mean that everyone on the coaching at staff gets a real review. At least the 2019 team had a competitive defense (except against dOSU).
If the players have to constantly compete for their jobs… then why don’t the coaches?
