It's only going to get worse. We're going to lose to Auburn and Georgia Tech and, god forbid, someone invites us to a bowl with 6 wins, we're going to lose that too. We're also going to take a backseat to the other SEC powers in recruiting. Don't expect a top 10 class next recruiting season. Georgia Tech will never be able to out recruit us in the state of Georgia because their academic standards are too high. Calculus is the lowest level of math taught there and everybody has to take it...even the business majors.
The real question is, does CMR have it in him to pull the plug on the people that need to have the plug pulled on them? He comes across to me as a guy who could let his emotions and strong sense of loyalty and faith get in the way of what needs to be done when it comes to the behind the scenes, staff management aspects of coaching. I heard Willie Martinez is one of his best friends, and it would probably make him puke to have to fire him.
