Not sure this is going to shake out well for LSU this year or next, however.

Of course not, that's not the play here. This wasn't a quick fix decision. At this point you take whatever comes in the next 2 seasons and put the pieces into play for 3 years down the road. Most of us understand this and welcome the change as long as the right hire is made.

This is exactly why Drinkwitz is going to need more time. He came in at the wrong time when COVID-19 came in 2020. year. The 2021 was actually the first year of a normal season. Recruiting wasn't great first year. This coming recruiting class is a lot better. It will take couple more of very good recruiting classes to get started the roster to respectability. Then bring them all of his recruits on the field at the same time. That takes about 4 years. I think Drinkwitz is 2+ years away from getting a very good team. Plus he is still learning on the job since he has very little experience as a HC and just now starting to understand what he will need to compete at the next level. This year is a washup. Not matter since he doesn't want to give away some of his future schemes. Might just use current and some lesser schemes to get through the year and save the better schemes for next two years with better talents on the field. Look at FSU, Nebraska, and others that are starting over that have been very good in the past.
