It’s obviously hard to not have an emotional response to the way this season needed, however, this is actually what you pay coaches for: managing hard situations. Blowing a double digit point lead in the EE doesn’t help inspire confidence.
I know it’s likely RT, but don’t thinks it’s criminal to choose another coach if a decent one was available. Tired of “optics” based decision-making. It’s just ridiculous if you have options. But maybe there just are not any other realistic possibilities. We don’t know shit though about who really is or isn’t available.
If it’s RT, not that excited TBH, would be interested and enthusiastic even about Royal Ivey, even with all the potential downsides and improbabilities.
What Beard and others have shown, is that with the portal, and real coaching, things can change positively in a couple seasons. Somehow I don’t think RT is on that level. Hope I’m wrong.
