But at some point you need to realize who isn’t performing and take steps to improve where needed.
I’m starting to feel like we may need to fill more than just a few holes with the portal. College football has changed, you have the ability to manage a roster more like an NFL team and payroll needs to be allocated appropriately
If someone’s not performing you can address that through the portal, you have the ability to reduce NIL to players who didn’t play to their expectations and reallocate to others. You can encourage guys to stay and improve but at the same time bring in better talent. Some will certainly leave, but that may not be a bad thing if they leave because you’re bringing in better talent.
Going to be some tough decisions, but I believe we might need to focus a bit less on spreading NIL around to a lot of guys who didn’t perform. time to try spending a bit less on retention and more of the budget on acquisitions. Especially on the offensive side of the ball. A #1 WR and LT are absolutely critical to next seasons success. I didn’t see Gunner as the answer at QB, but tough to tell with as little time as he had. This is college football now.
