coaches and new systems to deal with next year. Vandy, well I still believe we can handle them at home. MSU loses Dackich and a lot of other starters. We should handle OOC with exception of the dirty birds (I have to hope we can beat them because of the rivalry, again, just sayin ). Sooooo! Maybe, just maybe 7 or 8 wins are not out of reach if we make the right moves in off season and show a little improvement on O-line and Barker has more time to get it together. Just (hoping) and sayin!
You are right, Stoops and Jones are the elder statesmen in the SEC east. Its hard to believe that no coach in the division has been at their school longer than 4 years, counting the 16 season. I can't speak for the Missouri fans, don't know much about their new coach. USC is split on Muschamp, some are excited, some are not. At UGA at least 99% of the fans are elated with Smart. Many, including me, wanted to keep Pruitt as DC but looks like he is gone, very good coach and elite recruiter. Looks like our new DC is coming from the present staff, and looks like we are keeping 1 offensive coach, the RB coach. But sometimes the truth hurts, we have been a soft team, not very physical at all, that's about to change. We will have some growing pains, Smart like Stoops will have some growing pains as a first time coach, but I couldn't be more happier with the hire. An elite recruiter, he will make it harder to get kids out of Georgia. We very likely could take a step back next year with all the changes, but in 17, changes will be adjusted too, all those frosh we played this year, about 22 will be Jr, we will be better, even with no Chubb or Michel
