I've been one of Beamer's biggest critics on here. I wanted him gone before the UT and Clemson games last year, but he turned me around and proved his skeptics wrong.
The UNC game just brought my skepticism back and grow even more, unfortunately. My worry has been that the constant fawning over him from our social media team and major parts of our fanbase makes him feel infallible. I don't like how defensive he gets when people ask why the frick he hired an OC with no college playcalling experience after an OC with no college playcalling experience was clearly our biggest problem last year.
Also, his staff's evaluations of transfer portal players is absolutely his biggest red flag right now IMO. We're an SEC school with nearly zero depth at RB and the best we could pull was a RB from Newberry. Grabbing a bunch of G5 O-linemen and expecting them to handle SEC DLs was a major head scratcher that is proving to be a death knell. This just goes back to him clearly wanting to keep "his guys" on staff when we need throat cutters with SEC/P5 experience like other SEC staffs have.

I hear you but the portal is a 2 part equation. You're right about evals, but it's also, "who can you get to come here."

Offense line is always a crapshoot for both HS recruits and college transfers. It's not like the portal is saturated with elite prospects. We lost seniors last year and are still relying on Muschamp's guys to be our starters right now and have to supplement that with transfers to give our freshman the most time.
This staff's OL recruiting seems to be head and shoulders above the last staff's.
