I mean...there is a remedy to this sort of thing...

And there's an oddly-embattled young offensive coordinator up in Philly who may be looking for a new challenge soon.

Or hartline who has to be ready to get away from Ryan day. Those guys also probably could hire coordinators with power 5 experience and success, what from having been more than a coffee boy who worked his way all the way to WR coach in his one successful stop in the big leagues. Anybody other than the Cajun Willie Taggert would suffice

One question about the guys you both mentioned: What are their resumes in the Sun Belt?

[bimigator]

Not much by way of Sun Belt resumes there, Mo. The struggle is real.

My one takeaway was this: Paralysis by analysis. That sums up this whole regime.

This recruiting class was the reason that we were supposed to be patient with Napier. The tiny scrap of patience that I had left is gone. Napier will be, too, before the end of this season. Hopefully Stricklin joins him on the unemployment line. He should not be allowed to hire another football coach.
