Really the biggest drop was on defense which is more on Arnett.
The first year or two, the D stayed on the field because the O coudn't sustain a drive - among lowest TOP of any P5. D talent began to drop significantly after 19, if some Covid players had not stayed, we'd never won 9 in 22. Leach won 8 games once in 3 years.

The HC is responsible for O, D and ST last time I checked and also over recruiting, Can't blame CZA for that.
