Statistically we are getting what he's being paid for. 13 ranked salary, typically 7-15th in end of year polls, and 10-15 ranked recruiting classes. Unfortunately, his losses are to teams that have more talent and NIL resources, and that main team is OSU. He loses very few games to teams he shouldn't have if you look at the body of work. He hasn't solved the OSU juggernaut. We have probably had 3 teams with near equal talent and we lost 2 of those 3 in 2017 and 2018. Stood toe to toe with them in 2020 too I believe. So who is out there with a better record against top teams for the same salary or slightly more? Matt Rhule (giggle). I don't want to be Nebraska. You think Cignetti at 60 years old using the portal for a 1 year success story is who we need? We can fire him, solves a problem, but creates another big one too. So what is the answer? Who you got?
It was painfully obvious Satruday we lack playmakers. We have one plus Allar. 3 WR receptions. WTF. Their RBs were better, their WRs were better, their Oline was better. Their Dline was better. Their secondary was better. 90% of that loss was talent. AK **** the bed on the last series. I get it. But no guarantees we win after that. D was gassed bcz our O had 3 possessions totaling 22 plays in the 2nd half.
