Changing the subject a bit, what do you all see as the 2 biggest things on each side of the ball the next coach has to straighten out for us to be competitive in 2018? Im considering S&C to be a given. But other than that:
Offense
1. OL. Gotta get tougher and more disciplined in the trenches. Also need to get Mays back on board if possible. Hell have a chance to make a Trey Smith like impact for us.
2. WR. Weve had way too much trouble with guys being able to consistently be where they need to be, getting open, and making the catch. If Im the new coach, I try to find out if I can get JJ to come back if possible (no idea if thered be some sort of issue with the rest of the team regarding him ghosting or not).
Defense
1. DB. Weve been surprisingly solid here this year, but well be losing Wiggins, Moseley, Martin, and likely Gaulden going into 2018. Gotta make sure we can keep the young guys we have on campus around and bring in plenty of young guys (EEs, if possible) to compete here.
2. DL. Most of these guys should be coming back next year. Should. Gotta make sure you keep around as many as possible and more importantly, get them to play to their potential. Weve seen flashes from DT and Phillips this year, but weve gotta get the interior guys to play more dominantly as well if were gonna give the young DBs a chance to get settled. Bringing along Butler and Johnson at DE needs to be a priority also. Hopefully they can get Kongbo to realize hes a 3 technique DT as well.
Edit: also, gotta replace Daniels at Punter. Sneakily big hole in the team potentially.
