He does well at getting transfers, some of whom are very talented.

That's it. Nothing else I can think of it up to par.

Bluntly, the issue with this team isn't necessarily talent. There isn't a game on the schedule where we got beat on talent alone (even FSU). His scheme does not work at this level and he will never change it. His floor coaching is disasterous; a coach can succeed while mostly shining as a recruiter (*cough* Perry Clark *cough*), but they have to be willing to hire good assistants and listen to them at least occasionally (ironically, also Perry Clark (both as a positive (early in his career) and a negative (late in his time here)).

I liked the hire when it was made. It has not worked. After another last place AAC finish, which I would be surprised not to see, it will be time to move on.

This says more about the standards and benchmarks but I would be very surprised if this team finished last in AAC this season. They seem to be just a meh AAC team

Meanwhile I can’t guess what kind of job (in?)security Hunter may have regardless of performance.

FIRE DANNEN FIRST, and then you can get rid of Hunter.

0-1 in the SWAC so far. Until proven otherwise, which I freely admit is possible (I haven't watched any of the other bottom tier AAC teams this season yet), I just can't think that we can beat anyone out for last. I hope I'm wrong.

Houston will be favored by 50 at this rate.
