I said close to .500. Going 3-1 against USCjr isn't too much to ask as well as a win over Georgia within the next 3 and 2 over Florida within the next 3 and at least a competitive game against Bama. In other words out of the 12 games over the next 3 years against those 4 teams asking for 4-6 wins isn't too much to ask. I know Florida, Georgia, and Bama have elite teams
We went 0-4 against those 4 last year, which pretty much everyone outside of a few in our fanbase expected. To get to .500 by the end of year 4 requires 8-4 combined against these teams the next 3 years. That's not realistic at all, we've lost 12 straight to Bama and they currently have the #1 recruiting class; we've lost a combined 79-12 to Georgia the last 2 years and they currently have the #2 recruiting class, #1 last year; our last 2 wins against Florida came in 2016 and 2004; we have never beaten Muschamp as coach, not once. Just come out in the open and say you want Pruitt fired now if you think he is a failure for not going 8-4, 7-5, or even 6-6 against these teams the next 3 years.
If you only meant 4-6 wins total against these teams in 4 years, that's a lot different than what you said originally that you expected to be .500 or close to it by year 4. For me, it's about how we look, if we are 7-2 or better against Missouri, Vandy, and Kentucky the next 3 years beat Georgia once, or at least beat Florida once and aren't getting consistently curb stomped by Bama, Florida, and Georgia in our losses to them, that will be serious improvement, especially if we can at least beat Sakerlina the next 2 times we play them at home. If we are improving, continuity will start paying dividends in year 5, 6 and on down the line like it has at Kentucky. We'll be getting ourselves into position to step into a power vacuum when the opportunity presents itself.
