If there is a mass exodus of players from a team after a coach is fired, how is it that coach's fault?
That is college football in 2023. There are daily threads in the Rant inquiring if we should go after players in the portal, or keeping an eye on the roster of a division for who just fired their coach to see if any talent players are leaving.
Players are recruited by position coaches who now don't know if they'll have a job or not.
Same for incoming recruits, if they're on the fence between two universities, they more than likely will choose the program with stability and not one where everyone they've been in contact with might not be retained.
Look, O had some issues and had to deal with externalities that he struggled with. But to keep perpetuating this myth that there was no talent here for reasons beyond O's control is nothing more then excusing BK.

It wasn’t just a mass exodus after O was fired. The 2020 class was a disaster and half gone before that. The 21 class also ended up having some major holes between busts, dismissals and transfers, as well. Those set the table for the situation to be worse when this was all followed by defections after O was fired.
When you have a program that doesn’t field 85 scholarship players two years in a row, that’s a failure of the staff leading up to the shortfall. You can keep trying to explain it away and shill for your guy, but he and his staff dropped the ball over a 2+ year span. This was NOT a typical coaching transition because of it.
