Look at the continued “rinse and repeat” of revolving door of head coaches, assistant coaches and the mass exodus of players via the portal. There’s not much “critical, outside the box” thinking.
College football rosters have evolved into professional football rosters and the “smart” college football teams are emulating pro football structures. The bottom third of rosters are going to be turned over. Just like the NFL. Dion Sanders introduced the concept at Colorado. He was one of the first college coaches to look at the portal like a draft board. Moreover, Sanders had no salary cap.
From the WSJ this morning.
“Belichick spent the fall digging into the college game—with his son Steve, the defensive coordinator at Washington, and consulting other coaches around the sport. And what he soon discovered was a completely new landscape: all the new money pouring into players’ pockets meant that his experience in the pros was more relevant than ever before.
At the same time, officials at the University of North Carolina were watching their football program fall behind the times, according to people familiar with the matter. The Tar Heels had broadly failed to evolve from amateurism to a pro-style model where players get paid.”
Bill Belichick, love him or hate him, is no dummy.
Gundy flushing his staff? A prisoner of war exchange. Nothing more nothing less. No real original or critical thinking there.
I tip my hat to UNC and Bubba Cunningham. There’s discussion at Chapel Hill of bringing in Mike Lombardi to be a “defacto” GM for the Tarheel football team, and bringing in Matt Patricia and Josh McDaniel as coordinators would be a sea change.
Tulsa continues down the “weathered” road with grudging change. NIL.
There’s just not much original “critical” thinking.
