Gattis has to go, and the only issue is how quickly. There is no way I can see him being here until early signing day 12-22-22 as it will have a major negative impact on the offensive recruiting class, and maybe even the defensive side. Radakovich, Mario and Highsmith should be joined at the hip NOW in finalizing their list of viable OC's that can run a productive offense, have their final candidates lined up before this season is over, and jettison Gattis on November 27th. This is Mario's biggest challenge in his coaching career and he needs to address it and get it right.I thought about that…but I think Mario believed he could recruit around it. I mean it’s worked up until this point.
Now, I’m in the camp that Rashada flipped because of money, not because of Gattis. Certainly a weird spot to be in if you’re Mario - If something else happens where we get another de-commitment on the offensive side of the ball, maybe you can him. It’s a tough cat and mouse game though, and dangerous.
