He is probably getting better and was provided significant help this year with analysts but he should have never gotten the job to begin with. And beyond his coaching the biggest issue is that he is unable to attract any real difference makers out of the portal or get any big time defensive recruits out of HS. Lockhart from Tupelo is the only good defensive recruit I can think of we've gotten while he has been here but one isn't going to cut it. Our staff in general just isn't on par with even the mid-level SEC teams. We had good enough players to have won at least 7 games this season.
I kinda disagree, he did get a difference maker from the portal. He just happen to be lost for the year in Game 2. We needed depth and difference makers. We got some depth and 1 real difference maker. Who would have made the entire line more explosive. Did we need more? Absolutely but most of that was a function of our NIL budget.
