This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Not much to add to MPG’s great synopsis by NDoggie78

I have no inside info other than following the team and attending some games on football weekends. I knew one graduating player who didn’t play much (she had played at same HS with a niece).

All this caught me completely by surprise other than something didn’t seem right with the underperformance of a team with high expectations.

My worry with the coach firing and mass exodus, that something more damaging would come out, especially in this day and age when there is a new abuse story seemingly every day. So while not happy with what has happened with the program at least no indictments like that have arisen.

So, still not sure what happened, I thought Johnson was doing a good job coaching/ recruiting and this last season was just a hiccup - but obviously there were more issues.
Moving forward I guess
