Let’s see what Wood does when Next year is a repeat of this season.
1 winning season in CUSA in 5 years 30-31 overall. Poor performance is never his fault.
Ask one question on the radio or post game and he pats himself on the back for 15 minutes. Enough. In basketball we’re top 3, winning 25 games and just falling short, and JJ is on the hot seat. We’re not doing that in football

Completely different situations. Jeff Jones did not have to transition up a level of competition. (which would be easier to do so in basketball with 13 players instead of 110) Which also ignores the level of facilities and if they makes a difference on recruiting.

Actually it’s easier to overhaul a football roster (over a period of time) than a basketball roster. Basketball rosters that are decimated destroy a team’s APR. football can take hits (by getting rid of multiple players in a year) and not have APR issues.

Its not even close. 1 good basketball player can completely change a program (see Trey Freeman)

Really? So the state of the program is now better because of Trey?

Fact is a football team can change over their roster faster than a basketball team. Football can make recruiting mistakes because 85 scholarships = a lot of leeway on the APR, basketball has 13.

Since you like numbers so much, football can lose 14 guys with eligibility remaining this year and still meet the APR threshold. And those 14 guys don’t include the ones who would meet the GPA transfer requirement not to lose points. Basketball could lose 4 (same parameters).

Now what’s going to hurt a program more: losing 4 of 13 players or losing 14 of 85?
