He was granted 3 years to start no matter how inconsistent he was game after game. That's the Searels way.
I don't necessarily mind letting people who can't get on the field go, but at some point you have to start worrying about the depth chart. I hope Mack is working the portal hard.
If he decides to play behind a Searels OL, then that girl must have something very special.
I hope Mack is having equally tough conversations with his staff.
He'll probably end up at VT with his brother... and then go off on our defense (or lack thereof) next time we play them.
Downs, Green, Olson, Jones and Nesbit are guys they've seen in games. Blackwell and Paysour will have two off-season's down and should be ready and incomers, Chapman and Greene, will get PT. Greene is a instant playmaker on the outside. They might go after an experienced grad transfer WR but I really like the WR room.
How about Mack saying: Y'all have failed to develop any depth of talent that plays consistently well. That is true of every position group except QB. And we could realize before this time next year that the problem is in QB development as well.
Right, but injuries happen in football. If we have a couple of injuries (or in season transfers) and the young guys aren't ready, which is a realistic possibility, then we have issues. It wouldn't hurt to add one or two if there are some good ones available. Especially when you are playing with a young QB. Mack is going to need to start taking bigger classes or become good at using the portal.
True. I think Mack is actively in the portal looking to add a few more in addition to the 2 he's grabbed thus far. A lot of talent out there.
All girls have something special............
My friend and former classmate is the RB coach at South Carolina. They're building something over there.
The only one I think we could've really used this upcoming year is Beau.
Asante just needs to get some of the mental aspects down, that dude was fast.
From a talent perspective, I don't think any of them are a big loss. The issue, especially at WR, is depth. If a couple of them get hurt and/or the new guys turn out to be a bust, then we're in trouble. Mack needs to work the portal harder and start taking full classes. Taking small classes in the world of the portal isn't wise. Losing kids is going to be the norm going forward.
That's true. He was a true junior. But i remember Cayson Collins going from totally lost (outside of special teams) to being pretty impactful his final yr.
Morrison showed so much promise as a true frosh. He wasn't a burner, but had crazy hops and loved to hit. Aside for high-end speed he can play lots of secondary positions. His regression was a weird one (**coaching/locker-room**)
Sometimes we just have to accept the fact that some kids have reached their ceiling without blaming it on coaching.
And sometimes we just have to accept that Dre Bly never should have been given the job because he had zero experience coaching college DBs, or even as a full time HS coach.
Lol. The program needed players, they needed a footprint in the 757 and Dre' got it done. Warren is here now so you can get off Bly's back with all that nonsense. Like I said, sometimes you have to blame the kids and not the coaching.
I agree 100% on the ceiling part, but I feel like Morrison regressed. But that could be due to personal stuff totally unrelated to coaching.
