This same fan base suffered through a decade plus of buying football coaches on the cheap as well as years of futility with lower level basketball hires, always begging to open the pocketbook up and get a big name (with big paycheck) coach. Now, we are wanting to go cheap at our most important position? Replace Nico with whom, and what are your savings? You don’t know, because only the schools/collectives, the players, and the IRS (hopefully) know how much these guys are making. Yet, with non-existent knowledge you want to manage the team’s payroll. Nico has good athleticism and elite arm talent. His processing speed, OL (passpro, at least), and WRs were substandard last year. It’s Heupel’s job to make him better. I guarantee you Josh doesnt want him leaving the team five months before the season. We shouldn’t be encouraging it either. This outrage is silly.
