Jury is still out on him, I suppose. There were both encouraging signs and warning signs this year.
Miles would've seemed like a bad fit as far as where he's from. I recall you referring to him as Leslie and saying he would tank LSU. If you can jinx Kelly the same way you jinxed Miles I'd be plenty happy.
The roster is so bad off it's going to take a while no matter what, I think. We're stuck in a perpetual loop of depending on transfer portal kids for bodies in the secondary, who have a year of eligibility then they move on, and the next year you need more transfer portal kids. Gonna take a bit to recruit the high school kids we need, and get them to stick around so they can get experience. Defensive line, too, and to a lesser extent some other positions. There were only 71 scholly kids this past season, a handful of which were one-time walk-ons. Every team we played had the full 88, and it showed, never more so than against Georgia. I guess it beats the 39 scholly players we brought to the bowl game last year against K-State.
O really steered the ship right into the sun like few people ever have. I'm hard pressed to find a guy who was given so much, stumbled ass-backwards into even more, and then still managed to tank the whole thing in record time.
Back on topic, hopefully this is not the case with Venables. He's been part of great OU teams and been integral during Clemson's great run...I was surprised this season went like it did.
