ari had a solid freshman year. with a coach not as terrible as [Redacted] he might have had the leadership to turn into something. thanks to wellman and [Redacted] his 10 cent head ruined his career.
says the one trick pony.
[Redacted] is indeed a pos. however, it's amazing you think he could coach a stacked team. the only possible example is at air force where he inherited an experienced team of kids that are predisposed to following orders and asked them to play the exact system they had already learned how. [Redacted] is a terrible teacher. even with a stacked team that guarantees nothing (we have seen that several times over the years up close and personal).
also i still don't understand "cock sucker" as an insult. that's really a nice thing to give someone. they should all receive a standing "o"-vation.
regarding transfers and recruiting over kids. manning, like most coaches, won't push a kid out unless there is a clear upgrade. e.g. the kid is an idiot, trouble maker, or clearly inferior talent wise. most of the current kids on the roster will be "safe" unless there is a clear jump in the quality of recruits ready to commit. to be clear there will be some tranfers over the next few years whether manning pushes some out or not.
