I’ll say 7-5 right now
No JG on the roster makes this team better already, we have a few guys in this class that’ll be instant impact guys and depending on Bailey/Salter progression and the transfer QB the playbook will be opened up a lot more offensively, hopefully Covid isn’t there to ravage the OL and DL. Think we’ll make a good enough hire to get a lot more out of those guys. The big concerns are pass rush and covering the slant, which will probably lead us to struggle against teams that score a bunch of points. This is probably what we would’ve been this season with a regular schedule anyways. Still not to what should be the standard but good enough to stabalize things and won’t cause a mass exodus of recruits
If you seriously think this team (without the burden of Guarantano and Will Friend) doing worse than a 6-6 record when we have cupcakes on the schedule, then you’re either too emotionally ridden on hating the current HC or mentally challenged. Too much talent on both sides for that to happen regardless who the HC is
That being said, 6-6 should get you fired at Tennessee.
