It seems like we could be losing at least 20 players every year between the combination of not enough playing time and misidentification of talent level/attitude (getting “the talk”) and moving on to grab a bigger bag at a better NIL funded program.  This year add to that a lot of coaches (and recruiters) leaving staff.

For me it just doesn’t seem like that much to lose 25 players under those circumstances.  I get the loss of culture to pay forward and potentially loss of player leadership as well.  Not sure how that gets addressed, those are tough things to instill quickly in young people.

Hopefully next year we have a good showing on the field and we reduce some of the reasons for the departures.  Having a big season in 2026 would mean success for two out of three years for Fran.  It would also demonstrate a propensity for executing a quick turnaround for a failing team.  A lot there on the table to potentially feel good about.
