That's a loser mentality and exactly why your program is stuck in the SoCon basement. Ranking third in the SoCon in yards per play is nothing to brag about, it's an indictment. The portal is how you get the athletes to actually execute that scheme at a winning level. Continuity with mediocre talent just means you're consistently mediocre. Look at the teams actually competing for championships, they master the portal to plug holes and upgrade instantly. Your "continuity" just means you're keeping the same guys who got pushed around last season. The game has changed. If you aren't aggressively using the portal to overhaul your roster, you're getting left behind. Your defensive scheme is worthless if the players can't run it against real competition. Stop clinging to the past.
