Assume the transfers had to be the final straw. When he joined the program he was known to be a good recruiter but an average coach who didn’t really develop players, and that’s been the case for the most part.
However, the talk is that he’s also slipping as a recruiter and had almost no momentum with any receivers this past recruiting cycle so I think ultimately it led to his being let go. We had talent with 22-30 targets a game and outside of Covey we didn’t really ever have someone step up a demand 10-12 targets a game. That has to fall on his shoulders…not all his fault but add everything up and that kind of seems like where Whitt landed.
In fairness I’m not sure recruiting is easy with the style we’ve rolled out there recently however the lack of development with what we had plays a big part in why he was let go IMO.
