1. The transfer portal opens in 2 weeks. You can bet multiple UK players will enter and the staff will target replacements. I expect this to be the most active portal for UK yet by far.
2. Staff changes will absolutely occur this year. How many? Who knows but there will be turnover and perhaps a significant amount.
3. Will Iowa open? I think it's 50/50 and it should be known after the B1G championship game. Whether Iowa will target Stoops is anyone's guess, but it's definitely possible. If it opens and they target Stoops, buckle up especially if the timing doesn't work out and Sumrall, the most obvious hire for Mitch, has already taken another job. Will one of the other open jobs be attractive to Stoops? Michigan State perhaps?
4. Coen questions. Is he healthy? Will he still be here? Is he actually any good? No one really knows what happened that landed him in the hospital, but he's not coached another game from the field since that happened. That's a complete departure from his history. Will he take a HC job somewhere? If he does, Stoops is in offensive limbo yet again, which is exactly where he's been for the majority of his tenure. Brown-Dawson-Gran-Coen-Scangerello-Coen. It's all been consistently inconsistent. Even when the team has won, the offense has been mostly one-dimensional.
5. Can they attract another good portal QB? Leary's ineffectiveness will be used against them.
6. Can they attract a good portal RB? Ray's apparent unhappiness will be used against them.
