What if there are grumblings of multiple players transferring out, it will take another 3-4 years for oscar to rebuild AGAIN, which would require a contract extension to even get recruits to listen.
With where oscar is on his contract, you can fire him and hire a decent mid-major guy for less to counter the buyout, and the money would be a wash after a few years.
If that keeps all these guys on campus, I'd take my chances to see what a new dude can do over the next 2-3 years.
(even if there isn't a threat of players leaving, I still go the mid-major route at this point :googlesNDSUcoach:)
