One of the things I heard some donors with much deeper pockets than me grumbling about when Oats was here is that Tripathi won’t allow any coach to make more than him. No idea if there’s truth to that, but the money is there without cutting academic salaries. The President just won’t invest in our programs to be more than middling.
DC, OC, RB and DL left on their own. Safeties and S&C either got let go or found something else. Mo hired OC and RB then bounced, but they were retained by Lembo.
One small positive - Fulcher seems to be playing better. Not trying to do too much, not turning it over as much, he’s excellent off the bounce when driving.
I didn’t mean literally cut everyone. You get rid of those that aren’t bought in. Bring in your mentality guys. At this level anyone claiming they don’t risk playing for multiple coaches in their college lives are fooling themselves. The student athlete can leave at any time as well.
Ah yes. So the coach will play scared and not want to recruit over the current pile of dog crap to continue to be bottom 15 in the country. Makes sense.
We could literally cut the whole team and start fresh if we wanted. To say right we’ll be worse is total BS. At least wait until we have a finished roster.
Lance never had heralded recruiting classes. But he developed them like crazy and recruited to his system. That’s all I ask for. MAC level guys aren’t watched super closely.
IMO not sure there could be 3 worse collective candidates. I’ve been a contributor for 20+ years. If this is the vision they have for UB Football no sense in me contributing anymore bc they’ve stopped trying.
