Drink's OC choice shows he does not plan on changing philosophy much, or at all.
We have to upgrade the lines to have any chance at breaking out of the mid-tier "good team" group.

Since Drink went boring with his OC hire to keep, we need an exceptional line. So yes, biggest investments need to go there to put out an even better line than we had this year.

Still disappointed we did not have more on the second string to put better center play out against our biggest opponents.

Wish we could find out which transfers are chasing $ and which were told they are not looking at the playing time they want next year.

An early Christmas gift. Thanks Santa!!!!!

I wonder if this suggests their is no real news on a possible new OC to share with the players.

Manning had too many drops, but he was a good blocker and you would like to think he would keep developing his receiving game to have a shot at the pros.

With this offense's limitations brought on by the incompetence at QB and OC, there were too few targets for all the WRs. Would have been too few targets for 2-3 WRs, forget about a whole room.

And it won't be against SEC-level defenses that froze him like a deer in the headlights

Speaks volumes about the bowl game that you guys are discussing golf.

Did I hear right in the ACC championship that neither team had beaten a ranked team??? The ACC was pure dung this season, outside of Miami.

This question is getting more credibility by the day. Lot of smoke that Penn St. pulled their offer after the OU loss.

Penn St. just got turned down by another coach (BYU).
What is that, the 10th target that turned them down? I have heard some talking heads claim the number is up into the 20s. These coaches are obviously thinking "No thanks, I don't want a "NC or bust every year" job, especially in a conference with Ohio St.

With that kind of failure as signing day kept getting closer, I doubt a school backed away from an established coach that has shown SEC success.
Maybe they have just given up on signing day. I doubt it.

Josh Pate on Penn St. failure

Make you think the Drink to Penn St. was just smoke and mirrors. Wonder if it all came from Drink's agent?

Feels like Blood has been here for 7 years. Did he come in with the same freshman class as Pavia??? :)

He has built a foundation.

We have talent and depth like no team in my lifetime. He did not do enough with that talent and depth this year.

That foundation gave him the extension.

If he continues to bring in the talent and depth, improves the offensive coaching, improves the special teams coaching, and starts taking the next steps to becoming a top level team, he will stay.

If he is stubborn and does not change any of the problems that held this year's team back, he will be let go in a couple of seasons.
