And, its rather likely that they'll have a new coaching staff next year along with half the current roster choosing to transfer out. What a potential disaster going on there for a once proud program.
I was going to say something similar. This is it for Cooper if he doesn't win. He doesn't have the luxury of next year.
It's an interesting thing to consider. On one hand, they don't want to wreck all the commits that they have for this year so they kept him (I'm assuming). On the other, the (presumably) new head coach will be inheriting a rather large roster of guys that aren't his guys unless half of them transfer. Either way, they're in a tough spot unless this recruiting class turns out 4-5 pretty solid players.
