Off topic, but I hope y'all make a statement this SaturdayJust looked at Norvell's buyout and considering that I think he is safe for another 2-3 years. I think they have a conglomerate of issues brewing. Their previous recruiting classes have been more bust than boom. They have a pretty good class so far this year based on recruiting rankings, but how likely are they to hold on to them if the season continues as it has? Also NIL is likely to be even more of a clusterfukk next off season than it was this previous year. That DL that is giving up 220 ypg rushing held them hostage to get paid, I'm pretty sure that ain't getting renewed next year. Unless someone breaks out they probably aren't going to want to pay anyone big money. They will also have to go big game hunting in the portal again. I'm pretty sure that culture in the locker room is turning to shyt and paying more mercenaries to come in likely won't help.
Norvell likely needs to turn it up in regards to HS recruiting and that likely will require upgrading some of his assistant coaches with guys that can recruit. While they can't afford to for him they can afford to fire his assistants and that will likely be the bandaid this off-season.
