Summary
Intel: We have a 15 man incoming class with no real juice for more than a couple more kids if we luck out.

We have a 15 man incoming class with no real juice for more than a couple more kids if we luck out. We haven't got enough dough to make a big splash in the portal. We have an old team. We're spending on a par with Northwestern, way behind Oregon, Ohio State, scUM, Indiana, Penn State, USC, etc.
I'm sorry, I just don't see where the rebuild happens unless the green and white tooth fairy shows up with an extra $15M a year and Fitz demonstrates he knows how to spend it. (Precious little evidence of that so far.) Spartan Ventures may help some, but a "for profit" venture isn't going to spin off $15M a year in money that can be spent on NIL.
There are reasons to give a coach at least 3 years regardless of his record. There are also reasons not to. What's required, and has been required for some time, is either paying through the nose for a legit big time coach who generates some buzz, or paying through the nose for a an up and comer that everybody wants and can bring a bunch of kids with him.
