Going in the wayback machine...
This is a guy who begged for the job citing continuity,
then first order of business, fired his friend and long time
Kill Offensive Coordinator, Matt Limegrover and QB coach
Jim Zebrowski (and I think he used Limey as a scapegoat
for the Michigan debacle...but nevertheless)
As a result..
Lost 4-star D. Snelson, 4-star S. Foster and 3-star Matt Kegel, others?
Then hired a guy who was arguably worse than Limey.
I hate how all this was handled and the actions of the administration, but
thinking thoroughly about all this top to bottom, I'm coming around
that Claeys wasn't the long term answer, that his success this year
was based largely on the foundation Kill laid and that under Tracy
those good improvements would start falling apart eventually.
Discipline was clearly already starting to fall apart.
$500K buyout was the best time to do it.
To me, the worst part of this is losing Sawvel and Mike Sherels..
