Disagree. You're not hiring a HC/OC/DC, so you don't need to vet to the nth degree, and the portal is open and WRs in it are talking to coaches and teams now, not on our timeline. This isn't the hardest position to hire for.

Yeah, NOPE

The portal for these players close 5 days after their bowl game or Jan 3, which ever is later. There's no time to be waiting around. You rushed to fire a coach now you hire a better one.

We need to get 2 of Wells, Collins, mitchell, maclin. We have about 3-4 weeks to realistically do that. I don't see how we'll get them if we don't have a clear QB and or WR coach in the next week.

Right now ND is doing damage control on offense with 4 WRs hitting portal, and 3 of them were our top 3 snap count wrs.

Wasn't he ready to come until we told him "no thanks" and went after Leonard? At least, it was reported that was the case. I don't know for sure about bridges being burned, but I can't imagine that the situation helps our case if they don't land Leonard. Although, I suppose if that happens and Howard hasn't signed and we are still Howard's best option all can be forgiven with $.

Even with Freeman's clear troubles reading multiple situations of late. This has to be a done deal. No way they called off Howard without significant assurances from Leonard. That would be peak dumb.
