SMU Mustangs face a pivotal offseason as Casey Woods departs, sparking debate about the next offensive coordinator. Should Rob Likens—current associate head coach and co-offensive coordinator—step up to drive SMU's offense alongside Rhett Lashlee? Grayson Singleton highlights Likens' extensive coordinator experience, proven player development, and game management skills, arguing he's the best fit for continuity and success. The discussion also weighs internal promotion risks and the logic behind bypassing external hires. Kevin Jennings' decision to stay with SMU delivers a massive advantage, saving the Mustangs millions otherwise spent on the QB transfer market and signaling strong program retention. Critical quarterback portal moves, NIL economics, and returning talent reshape SMU's recruiting and roster management strategies. Plus, a court case challenging NCAA eligibility rules could dramatically impact SMU's roster for 2024, with key players like Jordan Hudson and Ahmad Moses potentially regaining eligibility. How will these moves shape SMU’s ACC competitiveness?
