I dont think we bring in a "bigshot" portal QB that everyone is after. More likely we bring in a lesser known QB thats a solid veteran like Joey was. Somebody to push the young guys and be a leader in the QB room. GMac starts next year because he has a full year in the offense that Faizon wont have. Faizon redhshirts and then in fall camp 2027 theres a QB battle for the ages to see who gets to lead this team. Next year we are looking at another 9-3 type year with a much more difficult schedule than this past 2025 season. In 2027 we should have a real shot to make a playoff run though with all the talent from the 25 and 26 classes growing up and Knowles being in his 2nd season as DC. The future is very bright for our VOLS. The small % of this fanbase that want to fire coaches every time we lose a game or dont make the pĺayoffs suck balls though. They're a cancer to this site.

If you think we even sniff 9 wins, then you're just blinded by your orange tinted glasses. We will be lucky to go 7-5, more than likely 6-6. Our schedule is BRUTAL. I say we ride with what we have, get them experience and plan for 2027

We arent bringing in anybody that has more than 1 season of eligibility if we can help it IMO. Next year is gonna be a shootout between Gmac and Faizon in 2027 for the starting job. Probably get a veteran from a lower level school to come push and polish Gmac for 2026 and then be gone. Dont want to make a QB controversy where there isnt one...especially with all the money we are paying Gmac and Faizon. Thats money we can spend elsewhere...not on QB3.

I think 8-4 is probably the most likely record next year. 7-5 definitely possible with our brutal schedule. I will probably pick us 9-3 preseason anyway though for the 3rd year in a row because I am optimistic about our VOLS. Havent been right yet with 10-2 and now 8-4. Maybe next year I am finally correct.

Heupel was supposed to be a quarterback whisperer, but it looks like he recruits quarterbacks from other NCAA teams because he has no confidence in his ability to coach his own high school recruits.

We need major help on defense. While this QB would likely be good, having just him isn’t gonna make us win 10-11 games by himself. Also Knowles isn’t gonna turn us into a championship caliber defense over night.

KnowIes wasn't even my 1st want but, we're gonna be instantly better on defense and if we score over 50 a game, we're going to the Natty.😁

I would not be surprised to see a 4 loss SEC team make the playoffs next year. I fully expect the top teams will have no less than 2 losses.

Gone are the days of 12-0, 11-1 and maybe even 10-2.

As fans we are going to need to adjust our expectations, or we will see coaching changes for lots of SEC teams almost every year.

If we ride with what we have, get ready for more losses than wins.

Coaches these days MUST work the portal - the number of teams in the playoffs that have QBs from the portal should serve as a sign that times are changing.

I feel for the high school QBs, but they are living in a time where they are going to have to compete with experienced QB's looking for a new place to play.

So 5 star QBs are gonna start going to wash St, Liberty, Troy & Colo St? I don’t think so.

Unless Peyton Manning or Casey Clausen is coming out of this portal, it won't matter who the QB is. The 7-5 prediction is me predicting WITH a Portal QB. So why not take the lumps next year and get the current QBs experience and the defense a year under Knowles and get ready for a run in 2027.
