    As the old coach said it’s not about the X’s and O’s. It’s about the Jimmys and Joes. Cuss Billy all you want. Yes he needs an OC. Yes he needs a good O-line coach. The bottom line with this team is it is filled with non-SEC talent or SEC talent that is young and would normally be red-shirted and learning from older players. That’s what Billy has. So we stick it out and let him build on a team that FOUGHT HARD FOR THEIR COACHES AND EACHOTHER or we go into another buyout scenario and then what sane big-time coach would take the job? So all of us have no choice but to keep pulling for these overmatched kids who are fighting their guts out and wait for the new recruiting class and that’s reality.

    And then there are the coachable lazies and the slows... we need to fix. Our practices are slow and lazy... It shows in games.

    They just don’t have the horses that’s what I’m saying. Can’t you see that?

    It doesn't this year. The freshman play and get experience and we better hope we can pull in a top 10 class or this coaching staff is not going to make through 2024.

    We still see bad angles and tackling? When do the coaches fix that?

    When you have sufficient depth to firmly introduce a player's rear-end to the bench if he won't do what you coach him and tell him to do . . . until he does. It makes a huge difference between potentially losing your spot and knowing there's not really anyone there to take it.

    I recommend looking up our blue chip ratio on 247 sports.

    Arkansas just got slaughtered by Auburn. Does Hugh Freeze have the horses? Florida has a better blue chip ratio than Auburn.

    We have almost no LB’s and our D-line can’t make an edge which is why everyone runs outside and runs their QBs on us. Wouldn’t you? So what do we do? Give Billy more time or not? The answer is obvious since we have no choice.

    I mean no disrespect but do you guys know anything about football? Napier knows a lot. He needs some horses.

    I don’t see Utah, Kentucky, Arkansas, Missouri, or Florida State on that list. Weird.

    I don’t give a shit about blue chip ratings. Read the original post. We don’t have the players. Never mind. Go fire Napier. What’s your big idea? Is Meyer available?

    Where are all the "Mertz completion percentage is because he throws short passes" people on this? "Blue chip ratio" obviously isn't telling the whole story here.

    how many times have CBN said in the weekly pressure about it not being a good practice or/and the energy level was low? Too many times to count at this point

    man our DT’s aren’t doing so just play Will Norman. Scooby keep screwing up? Why not just play Jaden Robinson? Marshall and Kimber keep putting THAT on film? Just play Ja’Keem, Shariff, and Dijon at corner.


    Sit the upperclassmen and send a darn message
