He would've won some games the Arnett season but that's it and we'd still have been lacking talent.
This is kind of where I'm at. I think we win 7 games in 23 with Leach but then what? He probably had 1-2 seasons left MAX after 22 so we're just kicking the can down the road to be in the same position we were in 23 and we're probably in that position now. That was the thing with Mike, there was never any type of succession plan. Now had we brought in someone like a Zach Kittley, GJ Kinne, Tyson Helton, etc. to be the OC in 23 and kind of set it up that they would take over then I'd probably be singing a different tune but I never got the feeling that was remotely thought of. Because you had to go Air Raid to not have the drop off we had and you had to go a very pure Air Raid style and those guys are probably the closest you could get.
