the SEC East was extremely weak during his tenure, with historically low SoS's by SEC standards.

And yet, he underachieved 3 out of 4 years and had some inexcusable losses along the way.

My biggest issue (from day one) is that he lacked the skills to recruit at a high-enough level to compete in the SEC. The jury's still out on Drink of course, but it's hard to deny his salesmanship, moxie, and intelligence.
