One has nothing to do with the other. While I don’t agree with not renewing Wetmore’s contract, I agree he was bound to be done soon anyway. So fine, he’s gone, I can live with that. But hiring Carlson was a mistake, he’s just like Deion, a great recruiter, but a terrible coach.
And he should 100% be evaluated on this years performance. He has two studs in Givens and Mathison. He brings with him a handful of his own guys from Tennesse, and he brings in new transfers, one of which is a 13:30 guy from western, so he’s already used to training at altitude. Anything worse than a top 5 finish at NCAA’s will be a let down and it should be viewed as such by everyone, especially those that hired him.
You may evaluate him on 2024, but his boss won't, probably even written in his contract.
If his reconfiguring the roster led to what you consider a top 5 team, then he actually did a pretty good job given he arrived too late for traditional recruiting for 2024 team.
