Like others have said, if State has to find a niche coach with a niche offense that can fool enough other coaches to win 7 to 8 games a year by spending most on Defense and enough on the Oline to run for 150-200 a game and score in the upper 20s most games. So you win 7 games 27-17 and you lose 5 games 28-20. At least you are competitive in the losses. Damn! Why does it have to be Rocket Surgery???
I don't fault anyone for not wanting throw their money down the drain that is NIL/college athletics, but unfortunately its the current state of affairs. Either play the game to at least be at the tail end of the lead pack or get left behind.

We just hired a phenomenal baseball coach from a top program, because we were willing to fund what they weren't. Having SEC money helped make that happen.
