It appears that they are going to let Herm have a lame duck season and try to replace him and the AD later in the year. I wouldn’t want Harlan hiring the next coach if he’d just presided over a similar debacle on the hill.
They’ve waited too long to try to find a quality coach in this cycle and abdicated the 2022 recruiting class in the process. Best bet is the AD either resigns this summer or is fired in the early fall. That gives them a few months to find a new AD, get a new coach and hopefully get the pieces they need to rebuild.
