rug has been pulled.
Recruiting is so different now you even have Saban & Kiffin & Dabo crying like little bytches.
That's because the Mizzou's of the world can now come calling and clear their bench players.
So fine, good, Drink is personable enough to fulfill the recruiting role, but the 800lb gorilla in the recruiting room is NIL - either you pay and win or you don't and you lose.
The other aspect to this is that a coach merely needs to be personable enough not to hurt recruiting.
NIL has vastly increased the importance of a coach being a great COACH, that is, developer of talent, that is GAME DAY COACHING.
For coaches who are good at coaching, NIL is a huge lift because now their primary skills are worth a ton more - whereas under the previous system recruiting was seen as a way to make up for bad coaching.
Those days are long, long gone.
Programs which adjust to this brave new world will have more success than those that do not.
Drink's game day weaknesses are now more glaring and material.
I hope he gets it together.
