Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

[Jimmy Football]

And I've asked how long should it take. We are in year 5. We looking at 5 years more, 10 years? I'm not getting any younger.

My guess is no one in ‘51 would have imagined we were 47 years away from the next one. So who knows?

I think the odds are against me seeing another title. Personally, I’m trying not to make that the only acceptable goal. That’s not easy in the playoff era.

Next year looks to be another "rebuild" as we lose a lot a crucial positions including breaking in a new QB. It will most likely be a redshirt or true freshman qb. Doubtful we make noise next year. So if we don't make it next year, that means 2027 should be the year, correct?

Then what’s your preferred alternative? It’s easy to complain but what’s the answer that’s better?

So, after losing the game last night, UT is gonna finish 7-5, see both Danny White and Heupel go to LSU, Rodney Garner to Auburn, see a mass exodus of young talent, and see Legend Bey go to Ohio State.

A lot sure can happen at UT in 24 hours.

 

[Blake25p]

I thought of Morris, Merrit, Travis Smith, Brame. If those guys aren’t part of the exodus then I’m good. GMac is in prime position to start next year, Merk may leave and it’s not ideal for Brandon to start day 1.

Dye, Utley, and Campbell need to play more on the D-Line.

You need some rest

Agree here, Gass as well.

I'm not expecting a title either. It's extremely hard. We probably don't spend the money to do it.

I think it’s more likely Lewis leaves and it’s the Bishop/Morris show next year.

 

[SmyrnaATLVolisback]

Travis Smith has been injured for a minute now

He should be back for Florida.

I may be in the minority here but I like Lewis. He’s a tough/physical runner and has seem to settle in some. Think he tried to impress too much early on with Star nipping at his heels for RB2. He’s found his role IMO. Be a 215lb ball of muscle that opposing DBs hate to tackle.

I'm not suggesting anything. I would hope Josh would recognize where his weaknesses on the staff are and correct those. I can't seem to get a clear answer. It seems to me I'm being told that 7-5, 8-4, 9-3 should be the norm with an occasional better than that and that I should be ok with it. Is that your opinion that fans should just accept that?

 

[Jackcrevol]

spot on

 

[BJWeeks]

Can we hurry up and fire Banks and bring Jerod Mayo in as DC

 

[SmyrnaATLVolisback]

I’m hearing we will have more leave than expected but we will likely return more that we thought would be for sure gone. Could be very interesting late this year.

Ya, if Faizon is all he's cracked up to be, and this amazing recruiting class has a year of experience. And hopefully some staff upgrades between now and then...

 

[MarcoVol]

He should be back for Florida.

Nice!

 

[jave36]

Lol. I don't know anyone who says sark is a top 5 coach, but the point is still valid.

Take out 7-5 and that will very soon be reality for every program in this league, save for maybe a select 2-3 (and I’m not even sure of that).

We’d have to find a football Tony Vitello to be exempt from it.

As we are seeing today on VN, it will be a real wake up for many fan bases. Thinking your team will make playoffs every year is just not realistic with 9 game schedule. All SEC teams now have money. Every game is a fight. Very few blow outs or easy conference games any more.

So we’ll have more leave than we thought but at the same time have more stay than we thought? I might be an idiot because I have no idea what this means lol.

I'm not sure I follow/understand.

How can we have more leave than expected but also return more that we thought were gone?
