With the geriatric Faison and Adaway gone, we will see a lot more of fuller and howell. I actually think they were our best backs this year. I'd like to see them get the majority of the carries. With a competent OC, they might be surprisingly good.
Positive thought for next season?
- Thread starter cockyferg
- Start date
I've been a fan way to long to think we are going to the playoffs next year, but I'm still looking forward to next year.
Somewhat agree, but probably need a good portal guy. A Rocket, not a 181 lb Faison.
Good grief, can we just recruit a RB for Pete's sake?
I'll just add:
Luke Doty is finally gone.
We'll be forced to find another RB, hopefully not an undersized wet noodle from a smaller conference.
We might just see another QB too if Sellers goes.
Beyond that, I got nothin'. Next year will be worse. It's coming. Shane will be fired, and we'll start all over again. We're only delaying the inevitable and costing ourselves more $$ in the long run by the damage being done now. The short sidedness of it all is mind boggling to me. Cut bait now, spend the $$ NOW and get a real coach and real staff. - The price only goes up next year. That's a fact.

Can’t speak about positives until we see recruiting play out and portal losses versus gains. I could be very positive or very worried. Too soon to tell.
Doesn’t matter who the coach is? I guess Spurrier, Holtz, and Morrison didn’t get that memo.
As much as I hate to see everything blown up, I have to agree.
Bringing in a new OC, means paying off everyone that he jettisons from the current staff. Add in then, 2 or 3yr deals for the new OC and everyone he brings in. THEN, after another abysmal season next year, we fire the entire staff, paying Beamer's buyout, along with buyouts of all of those brand new (well,1yr old) contracts.
I think I saw someone on here counter the "bad time to be hiring a new coach in this carousel" line of thinking with this; If we don't think we can compete for hiring a good coach this year, what makes it easier next year? All of those supposed good coaches available in this years' cycle won't be available to us next year either - they'll all be in year 1 of their new 5yr deals anyway.
A tortured number will say anything. We are currently ranked 21st with only 14 commits. We have 9 4 stars and 5 3 stars.
It is concerning that our current class is that small.
It was making this weird clapping noise too. And oddly enough right before it blew it had a great week of practice.
Different times, portal and NIL, lack of money and no winning tradition makes it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to compete and win in the SEC.
I thought Fuller did pretty well this year and felt like he really should have been playing most of the time. He's built like a bruiser, but he is fast.
Personally, I'm excited to see how good he can be if we get a better line...
Better than that Penn State class of 2 4 star signings. That's their total signing class!
Used to be limited to total scholarships available to give; maybe that’s out the window too now. I don’t recognize college football anymore.
How important is signing day now anyway? All a team gets is a one year commitment. If a player doesn't get everything he wants, he jumps in the portal after the first year.
Is it even a one-year commitment? A December signee could enter the January portal, right?
Yeah, this is pretty much why I cant get as excited over recruiting classes like I used to.
They are so much more temporary than before.
