You, though, are not missing anything.

Bud's D's can frustrate a fan when they break and teams such as ECU (2014?), ODU, Pitt (last year) and BC exploit a weakness in scheme or personnel and take advantage in BIGLY way. But ultimately, it is the Jimmy's and Joe's who play better than little Billy's and Bob's. If he's going to stay, Bud might need a makeover to ensure he gets those guys who can get it done and change some of the things he's doing on the field and off. -- Since I am not in the loop at all, I can only guess. I'm still confident it's going to work out. Bud will do the right thing.
