Is it just me, or does every major program seem to go through these massive, identity-crushing slumps every few years? It feels like as soon as you get a sense of stability, the whole foundation just shifts, and suddenly you're staring at a roster full of question marks and "promising" newcomers.
I remember watching my alma mater go through something similar back in the mid-2010s. We spent three years just trying to figure out who was actually going to show up on Saturdays, let alone who was going to lead the offense. It’s hard to stay optimistic when you’re constantly hearing about "new eras" and "fresh starts" that feel like they're just band-aids on a much deeper problem.
When a team is basically starting from scratch on both sides of the ball, do you think it's actually possible to turn it around in a single season, or are we just setting ourselves up for more disappointment?
