How does a program with all the resources and commitment to the gold standard hire

A coordinator who was an analyst last year? We couldn’t pry a successful current DC to coach at a program that just played for a National title? I can understand not hiring someone like Mickens with no experience.

This is all in freeman and ash. Absolutely no doubt

After last years run it would be shocking if we couldn’t find better candidates. I just assumed this was who freeman wanted not a ‘well we need to get someone’ hire.

Thought the lesson was learned and filed with the hiring of Holtz.

Would never have believed what followed...if someone had suggested it in advance...

After all we were led to believe the talent is now at an elite level right? So it’s likely the coaching. Or lack therereof.

...improved consistency though.

Both of these games were winnable. Coming out of them 0-2 is disastrous...
