The depressing thing is we play these huge money games, not so we have better recruiting budgets or to be able to put it towards better facilities, etc.
No, we play these money games so we can afford to fire our coach. The coach with a history of failure that we signed expecting he will find success here. And that we signed to a ridicuilously lucrative contract in spite of his history of failure. And who then hires an OC with a history of failure.
I would gladly hire the entire coaching staff from a successful FCS school like NDSU. At least they have proven they know how to coach and win. There are no guarantees, but at least they haven't already proven to be incompetent.
