All I see is 2008 BSU football. Incredible season ending with losing the most important games and losing the coach. If they replace Schertz with a guy who has an overwhelmingly losing record as a head coach they’ll complete the car exploding as it lands in the ravine. I suspect Graves (that coach with a losing record) will be their coach next year. They've already named him interim and with an interim AD and an outgoing president who won't be gone yet for a couple more months ... Hard to see them sticking the next people in their positions with a coach under a long-term contract ... And hard to see them waiting until July or later to make a hire ... They'll probably stick Graves with the interim tag for a year to win or lose the job or give him a very short-term deal that the next president and AD can easily get out of if warranted.

If he's really connected to the players and can keep 2 or 3, that might be a Ray McCallum like play. Don't think he is a Hunsaker, coach in waiting guy.
It will be days only to see what players want to follow to StL, or ship out elsewhere.
They don't have much time in the portal window to wait on a national search.
Call me skeptical that they can sell ISU and get a lot better in a national search without keeping players. AD had to know this was coming and started looking earlier, so maybe they have some interest.

And yep, the gutting of Indiana State has begun. 3 starters in the portal so far.

The job isn't high paying. Now a very hard rebuild. Decent NIL. A good mid major job. Success as a mid major doesn't have the longer term positive impact it had in the past.

St. Louis paying $2M+ Indy Star reporting 4/5 starters will transfer to StLouis Looks like Avila is following Coach to SLU.

Graves will fail miserably, IMHO He's taking a tough job to rebuild after losing players.
Following a tough act.
