All these people saying Birmingham??? I went to Birmingham when we played there last, it was a shithole... Not just the stadium, but the entire town.
What bowl game do you want us to go to, and why?

If it's Birmingham, be aware it is being played at the new UAB stadium.

True. In this day and age of opting out, there is no telling if a team will have enough players to play.
It's not unthinkable that we could get passed over by the bowls with SEC tie-ins, but we'd pick up one of the at-large bids for sure.
I definitely agree about a new OC, but that isn't a reason to miss extra practices. Every practice is valuable when talking 18 and 19 year olds who come out of high school just dominating their opponent and suddenly find themselves facing guys every bit as good as they are. Anthony Munoz could have used the worst technique in the world in high school and still dominated. He probably could have done it blindfolded. But in the NFL he was blocking Reggie White and Bruce Smith and even for him, he needed every technique he could learn to stop those guys. You need a new OC, but you need all the practices your o-line can get against college level competition.
That's true as well. I just don't want a new OC or OL Coach to have to re-teach those who have learned from poor coaching. I hope Adkins is feeling well, and I would hate to fire a man during a health crisis, but our our OL performed waaay better the game he wasn't there. Coincidince? I felt like we had arguably our best rushing game against Auburn, and Adkins missed the game with a health scare.
Let the offense just run scout plays and concentrate on defensive and special team coaching. Special teams generally get short shrift in practice time allotment, so several practices devoted just to that would be wonderful.
