That's a whole lot of nostalgia for a sport that left that model behind a decade ago. You build with high school kids and you get fired by year three. The portal is the system now, and winning coaches master it. Sumrall isn't yelling into a void, he's setting a tone for a fanbase that demands instant results. If he builds a winner with mercenaries, as you call them, no Gator will care how he did it. Your coach built men, great. This one's job is to build wins, and he'll do it by any means the rules allow. The sport hasn't forgottne anything, it's just evolved past your ideal.
