The lead question is this: Is a program rebuild a process or is it something that can happen overnight?
Let’s take the Indiana Hoosier football program historical results from 2020-2023
My point here is a rebuild can happen overnight in today’s college football environment. I honestly have a hard time believing, despite our very bad situation coming out of the Kliff/Wells era, that we were in worse shape than Indiana 3 years ago. It remains to be seen if the IU situation is sustainable.

Other questions:
- Is their coaching superior to ours?
- Is their talent evaluation superior to ours?
- Are they a “one and done” because of their reliance on the portal and the “catch lightning” effect of the JMU transfers?
- Do you rebuild every year or try to create continuity through development? Wondering here if a “mix of both” leaves you straddling a mediocrity fence?
