The program has been near the bottom of the P5 since there's been a P5, except for that one year (Dino was HC). He also delivered the biggest win in 30 years.

Dino's offense wasn't a dud until it got figured out 2017-2019. It needed a re-imagining, like a pivot. You might think a new OC would be in order. Oh, we have a new one. The pandemic stunted the growth of the offense. Jury is out.

Recruiting is always been at the bottom of the conference. It's systemic and I don't think it's wise to pin that on a coaching staff, 100%. I do fault the staff and HC for the lack of a quality backup QB and some of the OL issues. But what is the expectation here? Top 20? Nope. Top 30? No. Top 40? Maybe.

The benefit is that he knows what he's up against, seems to pivot to solutions to address issues on the staff, and has run a pretty issue-free program. He's a good ambassador for the University. Any time you change coaches, you blow up at least 1 recruiting class, maybe 2. And unlike FSU and Tennessee - we're not a destination for transfers and the claw back takes longer. Stability and talent development are a program like ours friend.

The only HC I'd be open to thinking has a chance to right the ship quickly (he knows what we're up against) and to build the foundation correctly (OL/DL) is the OL coach at Bama. Other than that, it will have to be a 3 year rebuild. Even with Baloney it might be that kind of rebuild if transfers flee or he runs kids out.
