not the guy at that point in his career to take this program to the next level. Maybe some day he will be and will be happy for him if he gets there. Not a bad guy but this job was over his head at again that point in his career.

All coaches have their faults. Drink is quirky but he is creative and brash enough to be the right guy at the right time for us. He is aggressive enough to take risks and plays the media fairly well like a tamed down version of Kiffin. Maybe in the early Odom days maybe Drink would have failed too. I don't think Odom would have been creative enough to compete in the SEC with today's rules.
