Start with a new head coach. Add in a highly paid former top prospect going in the wrong direction. Throw in a demanding fan base staring at another shaky season.
What you get is a combustible situation, made more complex by the large dollars involved with said player.
Before the Name, Image & Likeness (NIL) era, Bryce Underwood’s shaky play would’ve resulted in a seat on the bench. Fans would be disappointed. Some criticism would have been sent Underwood’s way.
