Oregon State football is in a reset with very little margin for error. We walk through the coaching changes, why Mike MacIntyre at defensive coordinator feels like a stabilizing move, and how the transfer portal reshapes expectations for a program operating with tighter margins.

At the same time, the athletic department budget questions aren’t going away, and they continue to influence everything from staffing to roster retention.
