I think it’s simple. Demote Pelini. Biggest knock on Raymond is that he has never called plays. Well now is your chance

I'd do to Pelini what we kind of did to Canada the second half of 2017. Let him keep the title of DC through the end of the year with a mutual understanding we'll be parting ways at the end of the season. Let Raymond start calling some plays and see how it goes. If Raymond isn't working out either, let him stay where he is as DB coach and find a new DC. If he's working out, great.

But there is just no excuse for what's going on right now. COVID is not an excuse. It may be an excuse for a slight drop-off but not an excuse to getting torched every single weekend and having arguably the worst defense in the SEC and 100% the worst defense we've had in 30 years and possibly ever. No adjustments have been made whatsoever and there has been zero improvement since week 1. This experiment should be over. Keeping him around for another year over 4 million dollars is going to cost you more than 4 million dollars in the long run.
