Wartdawg, I have mentioned the same issue about playing the current players to their talent or the new HC's style.
IMO it is a difficult decision and I would like to think a lot of thought goes into it.
I have chalked it up to first year changes. The impact of the MR era colliding with the KS era.
YD1, I am finding 'ready to fire him' folks here and there. But they have no plan past that. Like it or not, he gets time to at least get to his recruits, polish his style and operations. The change of HC was imminent, happened, and here we are.
Meanwhile, 3 points huh? OK I will take it.
Go Dawgs!
For winning the Natty give every Dawg a bone AND prime rib steak.
