Knowing what we know now about Holtz, and what we think his mindset is (i.e. stubbornness) here is my question.

As bad as attendance and moral seems now, how bad will it be next year if we roll into the season with the rockstar at QB?
How many more defections will we suffer from the current group of players, and what will it do to recruiting? Hopefully not much to recruiting since 2019 recruits may be red-shirted and not waste a year with Smith at QB. They will know when there 4-year clock starts ticking in 2020 he'll be gone.

I see season tix sales dropping. I would think so. I also see contributions to the AD, to LTAC, dropping. There won't be a lot of enthusiasm going into next year. BUT!!! there was a similar air of concern heading into 2016 when Higgins was announced as starting QB, and fans flocked in when Higgins proved to be "pretty darn good!"
