It’s not a terrible idea. We’ve now lost a few coaches to lateral moves to “bigger programs”. Might be better off embracing the “mid table” (to borrow a soccer reference) role and look for talent in other places.
Sad part is, last year was the perfect time to get a good OC. You had a defensive minded head coach who was was early in his tenure. You had stability and autonomy to sell. Really blew it.
