I bet Ole Miss ( top 10) and Pitt (top 15) think we were pretty good too. A little depth against Ala and Ga would have gone a long way. Good things to those who are patient. I am referring to the current staff.As long as we are playing the bottom of the SEC East and 3-4 FCS teams we are a good team.
Team improvement is not linear.UT seems to be headed in the right direction as many have already stated.
Teams simply couldn't show up to the stadium this season and sleep-walk to an easy win over UT. Those days, I hope, are over for this program. A few more pieces on D and development of the next QB are crucial to make the next step in improvement, which is challenging for the East.
Team improvement is not linear.
The baseline has been set at a 4-4 SEC record.
The next step is continuing to beat the weak sisters of the SEC East for a few years to prove 2021 was not just a product of how bad the East was this year. Then comes beating Florida and the rotating West team every couple of years. Challenging for the East will take several years of steady improvement, then you throw in the OK and Texas additions and how that will affect the conference make-up.....
No one can deny 2021 was better than expected but it is a long way to the top.
Will our fanatics be patient enough for the long climb? There will be seasons where expectations are not met.
