There's a portal for baseball, too.  Need a pitcher?  Get a pitcher.  Done being patient.  Everyone else can get coaches that win right away.  We've done it with women's basketball.  Portal sports allow us to see who the bums are much faster than before.  Not saying Beals is, but after two seasons we need to see something.  We're in a top baseball league.

We should be hiring on a 2 year contract instead of 3-4 with an evaluation at that time for extension or dismissal.  Coaches can build an entire team out of two recruiting periods with no limit to number of scholarships that can be brought in (meaning we can recruit 85 players if we open 85 spots) and a portal full of hopefuls.  All the coach has to do these days is be able to evaluate and acquire players within the bounds of their recruiting and NIL budget and talent needs.  If they can not get talent within that budget then they need to do a song and dance to get increases.  That's the whole job of a coach in today's world.  If the coach is unable or unwilling to do those things then it's next man up.  Go deeper each time till we find the right guy and then get his butt promoted to a bigger school and repeat.  We need to start treating coaching like the carousel that it is and not like a deep grave where people can comfortably come stay till they die with no results.
