That probably aint gonna happen. We are about to lose a ton of players to the transfer portal. I would expect we're gonna lose quite a few of those recent commits too. Unless this is an impressive splash coaching hire, I think that you are right. We are going to lose a ton of players now. This will end up being a total rebuild.
But I still have to believe that Hilton wouldn't make this move without having someone waiting-in-the-wings. The timing makes no sense. I look for a surprisingly-good coaching announcement in the next few days, and maybe we won't lose a bunch of players and commits.

If that is the case then the AD needs to go in the transfer portal.

Situation is too unstable. The next coach will probably be without those who hired him in two to three years. He'll be challenged if has the necessary support on going. Will what they are selling the future coach on now still be in place?

I like Ruffin McNeil, but he can't be the head coach. Honestly, I feel we need a head coach 45 years of age or younger who has the potential to move this program forward. Success in a non-HBCU program (FCS or FBS) as either a head coach or coordinator is of utmost importance. And finally, we need to look at resumes....WITHOUT FOCUSING ON THE PICTURE OF THE COACH (ie. His pigmentation or lack thereof). We're in different waters now. We gotta handle business differently. I feel like he had the rug pulled from under him too soon at ECU, adding his experience at OU and NC State I believe he would be a great HC if given another shot. Everett Withers is another coach I like, who has had success at the FCS level and has local ties (from Charlotte, coached/recruited in State for UNC). I don't know of anyone that fits your full description, specifically at 45 or younger, but i do not keep up with coaches enough to name more than 3 or 4 guys that I'd like to see us consider. Edit: on Withers, he had an 18-7 record at JMU (while they were in the CAA, winning the league once in a tie) but his biggest knock was that he was knocked out of the playoffs early both years. He left for a job at Texas State after they moved up to FBS, didn't last too long. I believe he is a AHC at UVA. He also held down the HC spot at UNC as an interim HC, following the firing of Larry Fedora. His overall record is 32-41 but he was 25-13 prior to taking the Texas State job. He had a rough time at Texas State but they've only exceeded his win highest total (3) twice since he left, winning 4 games in 2021 and 2022.

And I hadn’t really considered the BOT being an igniter in this whole thing.

How do you know that the sun is gonna rise up in the east tomorrow morning? Probably from experience. I am in contact with a number of players and they are all disgruntled right now.

The players are supposed to be disgruntled. Washington was a player's coach by definition. I would be surprised by any other reaction.

I'd kick the tires on Ruffin McNeill, assuming we could even afford him. Ruffin McNeil found and hired Lincoln Riley while at ECU!

I seriously doubt we will lose a ton of players via portal. Hell, most parents ain't gone let their kid leave an institution as great as A&T just to play football.
No doubt the players are disgruntled at this time but they will get over it. The right hire can reverse that mood in time.
Besides, we don't have a ton of players great enough to transfer in the portal.
