re: There was obviously some major dysfunction going on behind the scenes

is it possible Ryan went into the portal because he was done with this staff and decided to return after being assured that they were going to be fired?

My guess is Kelly advised players to wait to make any decisions until after the bowl game to 1. show off their skills one last time for teams looking to bring them in and 2. to show your teammates / scouts that you finish what you started.

Then again, the recent recruiting signings also make me wonder what was told to guys like Reliford and McKinley. It's possible they just flipped because of Kelly/Frank but makes you feel like they were told about certain staff being let go or certain additions that would be coming.

Although I don't know how you trust a 17 year old to not put that on his social media immiedalty.
