It has nothing to do with justification. It's all about the $$$... We are not Texas A$M.

You can wish in one hand and shit in the other and see which fills up first. The way I see it we have three options we control. 1). Find that one coach who can do more with less, cause,…we’re always going to have less even though we have great facilities(the current NIL and Portal environment is COMPLETELY unsustainable for this program and you are a fool if you think otherwise). We must avoid the coach who approaches the “Square Peg Round Hole” mantra and is instead willing to go outside the box. There’s men out there like this; Coach Fry & Coach Nelson showed us this. Willie Fritz, Hughe Freeze, Bronco Mendenhall, come to mind. But these dudes are rare. And at NT, in this stupid environment they will always be under the greatest threats of losing staff and players to the P4 that we cannot counter monetarily. 2). Be the first FBS school to approach the remaining G5 and push to form a new league separate from the NCAA and structure a more affordable and common sense scholarship structure that includes non compete clauses and/or contract obligations for ALL athletes. Don’t tell me this can’t be done. Stanford now play’s Florida St in conference so anything is possible if we have the will to do it. 3). Move to the FCS and dominate. We would instantly be at the top of the recruiting chain with facilities and location, and be at a more sustainable level of NIL. Anything less and we’ll continue to just chase our tails. Rick

Unless any of you have $5-10M to donate right now to Athletics for EM's buyout and New coach salaries then you're just a Mob howling in the wind. It's not happening; we can't afford it. We've been on this road before with Seth, Benford, etc...

How can the AD justify keeping Morris if you lose to a 2-8 Temple team with an interim coach?
