No. You're being completely insane if you actually think that John's will and motivation to win championships as a Coach has changed one iota. He wants to win. Badly. Ask the guys what its like to wrestle for him. He demands perfection in competition and in the practice room.
Complacent is probably a good word if you're thinking that he hasn't evolved. Because that's 100% the issue.
Transfer portal is not the issue. These next 2 classes are championship level recruits. Using NIL to bring in a ringer or two would always help, but i'm not sure you guys need it. The RTC thing? He has to change his entire mindset on that. Even if he had just focused on cowboys (Ringer, JO, Derek White, Heil, Picc, Crutchmer) that's a damn good RTC that can also attract and develop recruits.
