    I can dig it. Might explain some of the recruits that dropped recently.

    Let the purge begin. Ready to see what happens on the offensive side of the ball with regards to the coaching staff. Also wonder how it will affect our current recruiting class.

    I had heard to expect the latter, not the former though, a bit of a surprise. Billy didn’t wait to let them ‘find’ another gig either, he fired them immediately. These won’t be the only ones, imho.

    We have a gaping hole of a defense and you’re worried about our offense? Lol

    Would have thought offensive line coaching would have been the first to go.

    They could still be in the middle of an epic battle of rock, paper, scissors to see who stays.

    Yeah Raymond seemed like such a great get at the time. It is true that the secondary was not good though, so fair enough. Given how bad the LBs were I expected a change there the most and at least for now that hasn't materialized. Very interesting.

    I’m concerned about all phases of this team. You’re only concerned about the defense? Seriously? Cmon man, you had to have witnessed what the rest of us saw. Lol

    Nah I don’t at all. Bateman had nothing to work with and has a monster LB class coming in. Bateman stays I assume. Our back ups actually did better than I thought they would.

    I mean an average defense and we are a 9 win team this year lol. FSU/Mizzou/Ark/LSU are all wins with a defense that grades the same as our offense.

    It’s about time. They didn’t have a single tackle all season

    Hopefully Armstrong and BN can keep Xavier or informed him of possible changes.

    Hard to tell. Agree that he had nothing to work with and maybe his stepped up recruiting saves him. Lot of young guys across the defense though, so that line of thinking could apply to the other guys as well. Ultimately if AA believes Bateman is good then so be it.

    Based on their position’s performance , they both keep picking ‘paper’.
