Even with the right coaching hire there is a chance we may have some sanctions from lack of institutional control that can lead to a 1 to 2 year bowl ban.
On top of that with a new coach you are likely to see some of our better players transfer out. That may mean we are looking at a rebuling of our program for 2 to 4 years.
While we have not been awesome with recruiting what if we lose half our recruiting class with the new hire and start trading 3 star decommits for 2 star guys.
Depth chart:
WR - Patton, Grant, and Carlton will be Seniors next year
RB - Goodwin will be a SR while Martin and Hicks will be juniors (Martin or Hicks may be a risk for a transfer out)
QB - both Laviano and Rettig will be JRs. I am guessing 1 of the 2 will stay.
O- Line - Heeman, Webb, and Applefield will be a SO, Webb and Miller will be a JR, Muller and Nelson will be SRs
TE - will have 1 Sr and 2 JRs next year (1 of the JRs may be a ris to transfer out)
D-line - Hamilton, Lambert, and Pinnix will be a SR while Lambert, Turay will be JRs
LBs - Longa, Johnson, and Marquez will be SRs while Margolis and Roberts will be SOs
Secondary - 7 in the 2 deep will be SOs and 1 will be a JR while Cioffi will be a SR (lots of risk for transfer outs)
