Why we have fallen? Its a confluence of factors.

We seem to have taken a step back at every position grouping. Our offense is predictable and our defensive line seems uninspired. QB recruiting and development has been non-existent. Since Deshaun you can make the argument that we’ve regressed with every QB. Kelly Bryant would have this offense moving the ball with more regularity.

Not sure what the steps are out of this mess. Don’t think just removing a few position coaches will do the trick.

BV brought excitement and confidence to both sides of the ball. He was infectious. Look where ok is ranked vs us.

What I was implying was that Lawrence didn’t get any better as a quarterback at Clemson.

It was bound to happen as no program or HC (outside of Saban) has been able to stay on top without a downturn. Even programs like Bama, Texas, USC, OKlahoma and others who have much better history and $$$ have not been able to live on the mountain top. The question is how we choose to manage through it. Will Dabo decide he does not have the stomach to do what is needed to restore the program and step aside? Will the AD decide that the Dabo era is over and we need a new direction? Will both ride the fence and double down that the current methodology will get us back to the top with only minor changes?


Exciting times...
