What a bonkers catch

Not sure if there’s a great answer to this but when it comes to talent evaluation and allocating spending who’s more at fault between GM (Embleton?) and Bielema? Obviously Bielema is the head coach and takes that responsibility but I assume he’s getting recommendations from a whole evaluation...
