It’s a complete mess and there’s no easy answers. Firing Red now could potentially do more harm than good. A mid-season firing will result in one of the assistant coaches taking over. I don’t believe that any of the bench coaches can do better, and I think that it will negatively affect the young players on the team.

The most important thing is for the powers that be to look ahead and figure out how to keep the core players for next year. Melo should be assured that Kiyan will be starting next year, and Melo should be involved with deciding who the next coach should be. White should receive a huge NIL and like Kiyan, be guaranteed a starting spot. If Freeman doesn’t take his chances and go pro, it will be hard to convince him to come back. He will get offers from some of the top programs in the country. Betsy should also be targeted as a player we want to return.

From there, it’s up to a new outside head coach to be able to assess other players on our roster that he’d like to keep (Fennell, Womack?) and to pull top players from the portal to round out the team. As some have mentioned, there are examples of other teams that were as lowly as we are now and made a complete turnaround in one year.

The right coach after this season is the biggest factor as to whether we make a change in the right direction or continue to flounder.
