Heup better not F up the Sanders commitment... he's officially gotten too big and too good of a coach to keep the good ole boy friend on the roster behind the scenes thing going... Spotlight is on him and this program. Finalize it and then quietly thank your friend, help him out the door with recs, but go get an elite Oline coach. You can't argue anymore that the SEC is won in the trenches on both sides of the ball.
We are now, even if we get Sanders, forced to go get 2-3 Olinemen in the Portal and will need to pay top dollar. No way this should fly at this point with our success on and off the field ...
If we whiff on Sanders in the 11th hour, this should free up big time cash and we better close on at least 2 surprise studs ...
Very excited about the potential playoff if we take care of Vandy this weekend (if we lose, we absolutely do not deserve to get in and folks better take off the orange glasses and question the staff on coaching, game planning, and getting elite talent on the roster ready and focused for this big of a game) and really want to get an out of conference opponent first round. As bad as we continue to studder through first quarters even at this point in the season, a team outside our conference would need to essentially start over and game plan specifically for our offense style. ND finally impressed me a tad this past weekend, but they will be no gimme with their defense. Say that though, i don't think they are built for 4 quarters of TN football when it's firing on all cylinders and will get worn down and whipped in the 4th. Any other team for that matter other than GA or TX...
