Is this an actual suggestion that our DC went to the HC and AD and presented an argument that he needed more $ to put championship caliber safties on the field and was rebuffed?I've been pointing this out for a long time. We let a safety walk in the portal because he was asking for more than we've budgeted to spend on safeties. It's a conscious decision. We also don't typically go after the 5-star CBs either because we have great DB coaches who can coach guys up. Anyone want to make the argument Jermod McCoy doesn't have a better career than dozens of guys who were ranked higher than him coming out of HS? We are willing to pay to keep top corners but we spend far less on safety. And we can always address any holes in the portal. It's not about not having the money to spend on safeties, it's about prioritizing positions the coaches place a higher priority on. We may not have the best safety room in the SEC, but how many teams have a better DL/Edge/Lb room?

Because there is no evidence in anything that has happened since DW arrived to support that. IN FACT, what happened after the Rodney Rice debacle last BBall offseason would suggest that any deficits would have been proactively addressed.
I get defending against the "he's awful" crowd beccause he isn't awful. He also isn't championship caliber. But claiming he isn't getting financial supoort rings very hollow!
