The contract structure, as the board generally understands it, is that Mason is safe through 2020 in an effort to see what his ceiling might be with new resources allocated to the FB program.
My question: What resources could have been allocated starting in spring 2019 through Fall 2020 that would turn the program around? I don’t think any major facility upgrades are going to be completed an in use by next May. That includes McGugin, the locker room, trainers facilities, the stadium. What is substantive about “commitment” from the AD and the department in terms of investment in things that would help the program? Are we going to greatly expand the staff next year in support staff? I’m having trouble seeing what could be done to turn the on field product around between now and next November.
