The starting QB is there for one reason, and that reason just left town. You are seeing their '22 and '23 classes take on a ton of decomitts (mostly '23 but with us days from signing day and a gutted staff, you can only imagine what is going on behind the scenes). Wiese is also in the transfer portal.
Their AD is smart and smart AD'S always have a list just in case, but the timing of this couldn't be worse. They need to make a hire to stop the bleeding and it needs to happen in a matter of days or they have potentially lost 2 classes before they can recover-if they can recover. And these classes are really important because this could likely be the core upperclassmen group when they transition to the SEC.
It really sucks when someone blindsides you with a business decision...
