I want the staff to be proactive in the following order.

1: finalize NIL budget. You can't run a business without a solid budget.
2: Determine which of the current players you want to retain.
Give them an NIL offer that they need to sign by a fixed date.
If they don't sign by the date reduce the offer by 50% . Tell them that if they stay this will be their compensation.
3: At this point Kline and Red should have two things. 
A: solid understanding of returning players.
B: Solid understanding of positions of need and available funds.
4: prioritize positions of need. Create 3 players in order for each position of need and start making offers. 
5; Review each assistant coach. Designate each coach specific player. Outline specific goals of improvement for each player including strength and conditioning and off court/academic personal goals. 
Ask for weekly progress reports on each player in writing. 
Weekly hold in person meetings with the player and their assigned coach to discuss progress.

I could go on but you get my two cents.  
Red needs to get very specific.  Get micro. Forget the crap about 
" The SU way".
Micro manage each player to improve them. 
Once they buy into self improvement then move onto team goals and improvement.  
Again do this in a micro way. 
Don't say " Better Defense "
Drill on how to as an example handle screens. When to fight through.  When to go under. Ect 
Red needs his version of DART. 
At a minimum he needs to become much more detailed.
