I'm throwing 8-4 out there for 2014 season. I'm on record saying 5/7,6/6 2013.

4 and 8 unless a lot of coaching changes take place.

 

[butchball13]

First two will be our only wins up until the UTC game

The Kentucky game will decide if we go winless in the SEC for first time in history

The way the Best Staff in America has been setting the wrong records, we could see it

So you're in favor of coach number 5 in the the last seven years?

Honestly asking. Not sure if it's wrong or right. Just asking.

i'am. after seeing this season unfold jones is not an SEC coach.

 

[volfanjustin]

4-8 again and we will see what the excuse makers have to say after back to back 4-8 with the best staff in the country

 

[driscokid]

Loss of offensive Line????? 4-7 if we get some breaks.....

Offensive line. What offensive line? You mean the one that couldn't get 1 yard against Vandy when we needed it? Not losing much there

 

[butchball13]

Our line seems like they did well at pass blocking 9 out of 10 plays under Cheney/bray but don't seem to excel at run blocking under bajakian/ et al.

My changes. I've thrown all of my homeristic ideas out the window.

5-7, If we're lucky enough to beat Vanderbilt and Kentucky. This is being a realist.

My honest opinion is that Jones thinks that his MAC and Big East assistants can win in the SEC

These should go

Jancek
Bajakian

These are on the fence
Azzanni( terrible WR development and route running. North is just talented enough a player that he outshines the coaching)
Martinez

Rest are safe for now

 

[Vol737]

I predict next year will be about the same, maybe .500. Other teams are getting better a lightspeed around the conference and Tennessee can't find any traction.

Count, I'm with you. Regardless of "lack of talent", good coordinators would have come up with better schemes than what we have seen this year. These guys aren't SEC qualified. If I turn out to be wrong, I'll buy the forum members a beer. Franklin/Vandy is doing more with lesser talent and better coaches.

 

[WesternNCVol]

6-6 7-5 us my guess.

Loose to bama, ga, mizzu, ol miss, ok,

 

[LWSVOL]

Larry i know you are pretty conservative in your views and they're usually right. I hope your wrong here though. If there is a program that needs a break out year or a feel good year it's ours. These long rebuild jobs that go unfinished because the coach gets canned for being stuck in neutral really suck..

I just think we will be younger and more inexperienced next year. lot of this class will be in 2 deep. can't win in this conference like that

You defended Dooley until the end and past his tenure. Your opinion on coaching staffs should be taken with a chunk of salt.

[vosams]

Why do we play Kentucky before Missouri and Vandy?

Sept 20 & Nov 8

[Biopsyman]

Team will be better in terms of talent on the roster but same results

this. there isn't 7 wins on that schedule. 6 would take a miracle. 5 is probably the ceiling. 4 wouldn't really surprise me.

it will be bad till we get an SEC calibur coach or unless CBJ improves dramatically during the offseason.

 

[Wylo]

everyone's opinion should be taken with a grain of salt.. you know why, skipper?


IT IS A MESSAGE BOARD! !

shocking, I know.

 

[cinnanutz]

Wow, I want what your smokin' !

Utah State is a solid team. They can move the ball down field fast. Without a good pass rush this is a loss.

How do you figure S. Carolina a Win and Ole Miss. a Loss? Are you flipping coins?

The rest I can see happening ONLY if we improve in the off season. I say 6-6. It's an improvement!

Agreed, Utah State will give us fits. Very mobile QB and the spread option attack. Very Auburnesque, we will be lucky to win the opener next year.

 

[ukvols]

The Utah State game being the opener and not later in the season helps us. I'd rather play them when we're 0-0 and full of optimism than after we've been through the SEC grind.

The Florida game will be for everything. If we win, we'll probably be in a bowl. If we lose, then 5-7 will be tough.

Thanks. I'm now enlightened.

 

[SGMVols]

4-8. We beat Utah State, Arkansas State, UTC, and Kentucky. That's it.

We are Colorado.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Not even done with this season and already worried about the next? Sheesh.
