Sadly this is the second time I’ve had to write this type of post in the past year. First it was Jerry Kill having to step down for health reasons, now it’s for Tracy Claeys being dismissed. If you take a step back and look at the big picture it is pretty shocking how quickly the Kill/Claeys era came crashing down. They put in so much time and effort over the course of a number of years to rebuild this program and make it respectable again after the Tim Brewster “era” that it is kind of mind boggling that it all came to a screeching halt in basically a year.
