That Wandale nearly left mid-season but was talked out of it.
No one is saying “what the real issue is” because it’s a sum of the parts.
It’s systemic failure at multiple levels.
We have a staff full of individuals that don’t excel at recruiting, development, retention. They don’t properly manage a game let alone a program.
Special teams is one of the most important functions of a football program and yet we only allow for an analyst (who is no longer here by the way; see:scapegoat).
There is an internal perception that has driven a wedge between players/players as well players/staff... and no one internally wants to acknowledge it.
