I'd say very much still TBD...with reasons to be optimistic and pessimistic.

First season wasn't good, but was left with a dumpster fire of a situation. Second season started so horribly, but had a good turnaround. Can't put the results of the bowl game in his hands when half the offensive staff leave.

For the price, he's been fine so far. Agree with previous assessments that we won't be snagging home run hires with $$$.

I think next year will be very telling. Where does he take the offense, or where does he allow people to take the offense rather? He will be very involved on Defense.

He only has a year or two before its either him or Muschamp on the chopping block.

Kirby and Georgia are rollilng. Mullen will have Florida back in a year or so. Vandy is vandy. Kentucky is Kentucky. Tennessee is a wildcard at this point.

So for me, I see it as a potential solidification or bust attempt at being the 3rd-best team in the east.

Since 2000, and really always, we have been a team that has to find the diamonds in the rough, even in our own state. Pick out some overlooked studs from Texas, Illinois, kansas...and develop them. This results in a cyclical nature where we have a really solid year with a group of seniors, trend down, and start over again.

Time will tell if BO can do that. Mixed bag so far.
