It was 100% a money decision based on both Jesse’s words and what has been shared here by those ‘in the know.’ I didn’t say the portal doesn’t have talent. I said it has less talent than people think. Teams that are 15-7 and 14-9 with very few good wins between the two of them don’t bolster your argument. At this level, the coaches you’re talking about are incredibly rare. Talent matters more than coaching. Both matter, certainly, but you have to clear the talent hurdle to have a real chance. By that, I mean there is a minimum of talent that has to be present. Short of that minimum, the coach can only do so much. We’re short of that minimum. [/QUOTE]
