You're diagnosing a patient who's already bled out. The portal IS the problem because it prevents any scheme from taking root. How can you build a defensive identity when your entire two-deep turns over every spring? I watched Coach Braxton build the '98 SWAC champion defense with the same core for three years. You can't install complexity when you're teaching basic alignments to new faces in August. That soft zone you hate? It's what you call when your linebackers just met last week.
