Mitchell was an odd fit, but when he joined the team we had a long snapper working at LB, and could not be too choosy.Honestly for a coach that emphasizes culture so much Mitchell always seemed like an odd fit. IIRC, he left Texas because they weren't "woke" enough... why leave Austin for K'ville to play for a coach from South Dakota if your reason is "social justice"? And why take a guy who could be divisive from the moment he arrived?
Lots of maybes and ifs on that one.
Beasley and Page made a lot of progress last year, but the middle of the defense is still a weakness and it would be nice if we could keep Mitchell or get another portal LB.
