Right now, with the portal and NIL, there is no stability for any program. Oklahoma and our year is a prime example. You play the NIL lottery and one season you win and the next you don't. If you pay for a QB but not an offensive line... you're screwed. If you don't invest in a defense as well as the offense... you're screwed. The "new" norm is a crap shoot and changing coaches is actually not the total solution. You have to have good coaches, but you have to have a paid roster to go with it. Beamer was s good coach last year and Venables was a horrible coach. This year Beamer is a horrible coach and Venables is a good coach. Next year that could flip again. There are exceptions (here's looking at you Vandy) but there will be fewer exceptions. We can't all have a winning season. There will be a 1-11 record to match the 11-1 record or a 2-10 record to match a 10-2 record. It can't happen any other way because there will never be a season of most teams are 6-6. Some things will never change and that is one of them. When players make more than the coaches then the true NFL conversion will be complete. Just my opinion.

Yeah, no one thought it was close to being over. I haven't heard anyone saying it's all fixed.

It's a mess but regardless of Kiffen antics I have enjoyed seeing Trinidad Chambliss... it has been a great story, if Simmons stays healthy I'm not sure we have the same season...I want a mobile QB more options..I know people will say well look at Lanorris Sellers but I think they aren't playing to his strengths ...give him lots of TE/ Rb high percentage passes , read option, then let him have the big throws similar to Malazan offense with Cam..I scratched my head at a lot of South Carolina play calling
It's definitely going to be feast or famine especially in the SEC... I never thought LSU/ Florida would be so bad this year..thought the way the played at the end of last year both of them would turn the corner...
