The contrast to Saban lying to his recruits' faces before bolting, and now DeBoer's OC waiting until the portal was closed to run out on his team (when he had the job earlier but waited) is very telling. And who thinks he didn't give DeBoer a heads up?
I know we are suffering negative recruiting right now from dishonest and hypocritical coaches who deserve to be investigated. But this positioning -- as the staff that cares for and stands up for athletes vs. staffs who intentionally deceive them -- should work to our advantage. If we can turn this narrative right-side-up like that, it would be incredibly impressive.
