A table of Cyclone fans killed three beers this weekend trying to answer one question:
If (I said IF) we were to replace Matt C in the next couple of years, is the program in a better place to hire someone to move us forward than the last few coaching hires?
Easy answer (3 of 4) said yes - given new program and conference stability in a Major P5 Conference. Also cited better facilities and CyTown development. Bigger stadium/more revenue.
Some concerns slowed the roll : 1) NIL - we likely can’t compete economically with a good number of top programs to pay players. 2) if consolidation isn’t over and there are ultimately two Mega conferences of top 40 programs, we may not make cut. 3) relative lack of football tradition.
Hopefully we won’t need a new coach but interesting Q.
