because he didn't have a draftable grade, but to be fair he was saying during the season in 2022 that he was not coming back. Losing Lisala Tai and Veikoso were also difficult for that offseason.

They knew Funk was a stop gap measure, but '21 and '22 season went well enough

All they had to do was look at Funk's job history. Guys that only last at schools for 1 or 2 years should

Lol, go look up the paths of some of the top coaches in football. They all do it

It was pretty common knowledge that Freeland and LaChance were done after that season. Not sure how this caught ARod off

Also, the older Barrington. It was expected he'd go NFL (not transfer) but same result

Arod constantly spews nonsense. Desperate to keep his job.

Yeah.. this really sounds like CYA... or at best, a total lack of awareness

Sadly I think its mostly lack of awareness.

Lisala Tai was supposed to be a starter too, but Arod bought into the narrative

Yikes. Incompetence.

The OP did some SL Trib level quoting if that is the source.

And they went to the only Oline in the league that was worse than BYU

Yet didn’t they claim they were better at every position on the OL?

Off guard? More like head in the sand.

ARod said this year he was caught off guard when Aidan Robbins bolted

Nah. Cougarboard is more laughable. Too many basement experts

Sadly, he reminds me of a Crowton offense

I think ARod is an average recruiter also. Not anything special.

He should have been fired last season.

Easy to see he needed to go. Oline underperformed dramatically last 2 seasons

Probably not caught off guard, more caught flat footed

Clearly an ARod/Kalani miss from the jump.
