I kind of get this vibe from looking what's happening from outside. Coaches taking new jobs that aren't even an upgrade. Allen Brown the CBs coach took a defensive quality control position at Cal then Florida. Players not leaving but straight up quitting football. At the end of last season 2022 we only had one QB, Simon Burkett who had one year left forewent his senior year and Trey Turner just quit. Those are just a few examples.
The team does horrible at away games, they get slaughtered when going to Bozeman or Missoula. There's not energy, no hype. Even this year, there was not energy in the last game against NAU despite it being a home game and senior day. That one dude needed to get the scoop and score just to hype up the team but by then it was too late, they were down too much.
I'm sure he'll screw up the DC hire, the defense will be hot garbage still, Eastern will have another losing season and he'll be let go.
