The program obviously wants to get to Clemson / Alabama level - and they are getting close. Looking at what is on the roster and they have coming in recruiting. I think they are there in overall Defense (looking at DL, LBs, DB's).
They are not there on offense for number of reasons - They are there in receivers. They are not there in RB's - but with the Taylor hire and the Tyree kid - they took a big step in the right direction. The players are there on the OL - but, the coaching is not.. And the QB position......????
So really they have one recruiting area - that being - they do not have and haven't had for a long time - that elite QB (be honest - it's obvious - they don't have, Lawrence, Tua, Hurts, etc); although Pyne may be that kid....
and two coaching questions - they need to decide if Quinn and/or Chip Long are the answer.
I think the answer is - Long and Quinn need to go. I would give them the rest of this year - but if things do not change. Kelly needs a new OC, and a new OL (and maybe a QB coach).
Kelly has done a good job of finding coaching talent the last few years - It's obvious what the issues are. I hope he fixes them.
