I dont say that lightly because ive been a big supporter of him and hes been our greatest coach in our history. They need to make his statue and he needs to go enjoy his later years on the course or wherever.
My reasons are as follows.
Hes lost the fire and hunger as evidence by his more low key self on the sideline and his reactions after each loss. Hes reached almost all the goals he came to reach here other than an sec title.
He has less than 5 years left and with the personell hessurrounded himself with has doomed his final years. Sos use to have a fine staff but as each one was hired away he replaced them with walmart type staff that no team in d1 or d2 would hire. The results are bad coaching and bad recruiting and worse poor talent evaluations. They tried to go juco to make up for lax recruiting but thats what losing teams do. If sos fired his whole staff and got top teir coaches in starting after this season it would still take 3 years to right the ship we sail on now. He doesnt have that many years left and wouldnt do it anyway. Take a look at our recruiting for next year and the product they put on the field this year. Sos tenure has bottomed and it will stay this way unfortunately.
Meanwhile the taters are doing what it takes to be top tier. Sos took his foot off the gas and decided to coast in to retirement in a few years. That hurts our football program. I hope he retires soon so we can start a new cause the next 2 or 3 years look bleak. Tanner needs to hire a hungry young coach who is a proven recruiter and put up the cas for top tier assistants. I speak the truth and cant believe how far we have sunk in the last 2 years. It is time for a change.
