Message: [QUOTE="Orangezoo, post: 5076120, member: 237"] We have to take a positive step.. then another and so on. NIL has to level up but Red has to prove his chops too. Last year was a mess but we won 20 games. We need a team that’s bought in, a philosophy and some talent to put out there. That’s what we will have with Lampkin in the fold. The rest is up to Red to make hay with it and give everyone a reason to pump more money in. The level of talent we had in our glory days would be top 5 in the portal era. Those kind of teams are much harder to put together for anyone. The curve on the grade has changed. So that means coaches have to prove they can get it done with what their NIL can afford. I think we’ve worn out the dead in the water point of view to the point it’s become the only acceptable point of view to some. I’m not optimistic but keeping hope we can make something happen and Red proves he’s got the chops. [/QUOTE]
