[QUOTE="Scooch, post: 5358980, member: 628"]
The most baffling/troubling thing to me in that article was Red claiming that last year's portal was the [I]"first year that we really had to dive into it because my first year we had a lot of continuity"[/I].

Two years ago we lost Girard, Torrance and Edwards, and brought in Starling, Cuffe, Westry and McLeod. That's not a total roster upheaval, but it's not exactly "a lot of continuity".

I don't understand how this staff could go through the Edwards saga and not be prepared the following season to address that kind of circumstance.  Did Autry think he'd never again face a situation where a player asks for more money after a deal was seemingly struck?

Plus, it seems like the staff knew about everyone who was departing last March aside from Brown.  It's unfathomable that they didn't so much as hire a consultant to help them plan for those replacements in January/February.

It's all just more evidence that Red was thoroughly unprepared to manage all aspects of the program when he took over.  And I don't understand how that could be for a guy who spent several years as the most likely in house option to replace JB.
