Losing Bell was a disappointment but I think Butch will work wonders given a full year to recruit.
Auburn and Arkansas did better. We should expect better from CBJ if we want to become relevant.
His class isn't awful so far, but I'm still not ready to praise him just yet.
True, the class wasn't awful, but we also didn't actually lose any one that we had committed, unlike last year. We just missed on some that were unknowns that we felt we were in good standing for (and IMO, we were, considering the aggressive, late push we had to make for them).
As long as CBJ shows on the field that he can coach, then I'm comfortable with where we're headed.
We have to win the 6 games that we are supposed to win and also get an upset victory over USC or UGA, then our recruiting will go up.....
We have to show progress and beating the teams that we are favored to beat, won't get it done.
True, but I meant more along the lines of a last-minute NSD switch, like Peters and Santos did last year. We had a couple weeks notice with Skipper, and much more time than that with Campbell and BRadley.
What is the 6th game everyone keeps saying we are supposed to win?
We have three home games against non-conference cupcakes, a home game with a Vandy team that drilled us last year, and a road game against KY.
I take it we're supposed to win all five of those games and beat an Auburn team that has consistently out-recruited us lately.
