He has to buckle down and make some incredibly serious staff decisions for next season, assuming he is still here. Primarily on the offensive side of the ball. I would say nobody is safe on offense. We should go out and give a blank check to the best offensive coordinator we can get and then let him Put his offense together.

Beamer will be here. Who else is paying him the kind of money we do?
He will be here next year, but the decisions he makes this offseason will be the ones that ultimately determine his fate here. I can assume we will be replacing our offensive coordinator which will be the fourth one he’s had. If he can’t get it right with four chances then he’s not gonna get it right.

Yeah, at least they put us out of our misery early. The reality is Missouri looks good with their new quarterback, A&M looks good, Alabama is looking good now, Oklahoma is looking good. Ole Miss looks good, LSU looks good. Those are all losses, man.

With the transfer portal, I think Beamer needs to make a coaching change now (i.e. get rid of O line coach and put Elliott in charge now). Players have lots of folks in their ears now and you can't afford to wait until offseason to so them you are serious about change.

I’ll be pretty shocked if Beamer makes any changes after the season - DEFINITELY not during the season. He’s loyal to his coaches to a fault. I have no confidence he will make changes necessary to fix this mess. It will eventually be his downfall.

Beamer, in my opinion, is safe, probably into 2027. The only coach who should be updating his resume is Teasley. This is his 3rd season as OL coach. That's more than enough time for a coach who has never accomplished anything in his coaching career. And make no mistake about it: Offensive line is the most important position on a football team. Without good OL play, quarterbacks and running backs are at a disadvantage. So are defenses when the offense can't stay on the field.

100%. Beamer has fired one coach - Hardesty at RB after 2022. RB’s were bad that season. OL has consistently ranked near the bottom of P4/SEC unit rankings, including last season, yet Teasley remains. I just don’t get it.

Hardesty actually was fired after the 2023 season. Beamer kept him here for 3 seasons. Three seasons may be Beamer's "red line" on coaches.

Ah. It’s all starting to run together for me. I hope you’re right about 3 seasons but honestly would be surprised if a change occurs.
