New AD will give him at least a year.
I still think a lot of our issues are due to two factors:
1 - we have two very young coordinators. I have to believe that if we had experience and talent at these two coaching positions, we would have performed better. I am not saying that they won't be very good down the road, but this should not be a school where we get someone's feet wet, we should be a destination location.
2 - we don't have enough top notch talent, and the few we do have are not being developed quick enough. Why is it our 4* recruits take so long to have an impact? Yet we see time and time again 4* athletes from other schools doing fantastic things? Do you think the word is out there that if you go to NU, you won't be developed? If I were a coach on the recruiting trail, I would be saying "look, we get our young talent on the field. If you go to NU, you will have to 'wait your turn' no matter what. And if you get some time, it will be garbage time, wasting your redshirt."
when we fired solich we stopped being a destination location. you get fired here if you are not in the title game. no established coach wants to deal with our unrealistic expectations here
