I am not sure going 6-6 and is a nightmare scenario. They are increasing the NIL from $2M to $7M so if Sawvel is let go that number more than likely drops with buyouts, now that number dropping is also going to effect the other sports, such as Wrestling and MBB. I would rather keep Sawvel as a coach at 6-6 then set back NIL 2-3 years, unless some big donor comes along.
Sawvel was stuck with the "talent" year 1 and could do nothing about it. He listened to Bohl about Evan and we rode that roller coaster. Wicks had 36 hours to create a roster; both coaches were not left ideal situations.
Ezell is the only coach that was given a really good roster and has failed to recruit to make up for Fertig graduating.
