At this rate there's no way DJ Walker or Jalen Thomeson stay. Maybe even Charlie Christoper, that would be unfortunate.
After almost all players stayed for the bowl and Hauser being named coach , I was a little optimistic that it may be a little more stable. The reality is that we will continue to lose many of our best players every year until we are blessed with more NIL money. The coaching instability doesn’t help. It looks like even in the G-6, the gap between the cash poor and top programs ($8 million or more) is even getting larger. Even WMU is starting to give 2 year contracts to top assistant coaches. Yes, I know there are lots of other factors, but I’m still big on NIL being the biggest factor.
It’s got to be tough for our coaches to keep it together, I wish them luck.
