Hopefully, they’ll put together a search committee, as they did with Norvell & Fuente, and not make an emotional, feel good hire… those typically don’t work out so good.

You have to give him one more year. It's just not a good look to let a coach go after two years, unless he's a Larry Porter type. He's been hit with some bad mojo this year. Defections and injuries have taken a toll on us.

Now, if he under-performs next year then send him packing along with his DC, OC and ST coaches. If he doesn't address those issues in the off season then I think we can expect more of the same from him next season.

I’m beginning to think the bad mojo & defections are not a coincidence. He lost his playmakers last year & neither said a good thing about him. He lost his top corner (Carter), top O lineman (Eze), team favorite D-lineman (Dorceus) & emerging WR (Washington) to transfer this year and not one uttered a complimentary word towards Silverfield on their way out. Now, we stand to lose our top RB (Thomas) again to transfer. Perhaps these were all bad seeds that needed to move on, but we’re not a program with the luxury of having so many top contributors leave. So yes, I question if Ryan Silverfield is head coach material. He had never been as much as a coordinator prior and seems to have a difficult time appeasing his top contributors. In my opinion, he’s best coaching oline somewhere else.

I guess I didn't keep up as closely as needed with just how these defections were playing out. A little context changes everything so thanks.
