It seems to me the following needs to be taken care of the remainder of this year and going in to next year:
- Cut MC some slack; he came in with no real supply of goods in the cubboards,
- He has to clean up his in game decision making,
- Pick a scheme and run it, and name your #1 and 2 RBs, thats a HC call,
- Play the younger guys and see what's there, if you're telling me nothing is there, that's a world of hurt,
- Get the wallet out and pay:
- Portal O and D lines to fix and build depth, and depth through recruiting (that takes 2-3 years for line play),
- Portal WR, with proven HS WRs who have demonstrated at the highest level, that's a position that can start as a freshman,
- Portal QB, HS recruit if he's played at a high level consistently, and fits your scheme
- MC may find he will have to change his scheme based on the players he can get in today's game
- MC has to go through the stages of group build, and he is going to show whether he is a start-up, growth, or status quo coach.
Imo, 3 years pretty gives a pretty good idea of what you have as a HC, team, and AD (can't forget that pesky position)
Somebody didn’t want to pay Amari Cambell that’s why he left so I don’t know if they’re going to get the check book out.
I agree... the one question mark is can Matt Campbell recruit? We will see, this cycle (portal included) will show us.It seems to me the following needs to be taken care of the remainder of this year and going in to next year:

I will never blame a player leaving on a "checkbook" when that player followed a coach. Which Cooper did.Somebody didn’t want to pay Amari Cambell that’s why he left so I don’t know if they’re going to get the check book out.
At that point it is clear that staying or following the coach was a big factor... no simply money
@roaminglion Amari Cambell left because Penn St didn’t want to pay him. I agree about leaving for more money I don’t blame him at all.
