I'm not bitter about AM leaving. He was going to leave at some point. I am bitter about the fact that no program was put in place to ensure any kind of continuity. Not sure if that's on AM, the admin, or both. This board consistently rails against X (for both good and bad reasons), but they have managed to successfully navigate through multiple head coaching changes with little, if any, disruption. And yet, here we are, worrying about a new coach, a new system, how many of our new recruits, outside of the 1 affirmed commitment, will be here, an incomplete coaching staff, a potential assistant already nixed by the admin, etc.
Yes, we have high expectations, and they may not be aligned with current reality, but I don't think it reflects well that whenever AM left, that we would potentially take several steps backwards. Once expectations of success are set, you maintain those expectations. The University's expectations haven't been reset, not sure why ours should be.
