Trey has to go this year. He’s a first round guy and needs to make his money. The practice situation will be something to handle but he is a special talent.

Bituli is outstanding but my guess is he doesn’t have the speed to go higher. But that guy almost never misses tackles.

MC and JJ are steals. I think both can be productive NFL guys.

I'm aging everyone based on if they get this...

Can the "we need a new O-line coach" stuff stop now?.

No.

Hopefully Fulmer & Pruitt never stop looking for ways to upgrade the Staff.

The Staff needs to be upgraded. The Staff WILL be upgraded. There’s at least 3 that need to move on.

And we could certainly do a lot better than Will Friend as O-Line Coach.

A great performance last night. I was fortunate enough to fly back with the guys last night post game and the energy and atmosphere this team and staff has created is truly amazing to witness. This team is a freight train moving at light speed...I don’t see anything stopping them from demolishing candy next week and then I really feel sorry for any team that has to face us in a bowl game.

All of this is making its way through the recruiting “networks” as well...expect a very strong finish.

Just rewatched that, saw it last night, but was hammered. Anyone else think Cole Cubelic kinda pissed Pruitt off?! He didn’t look overly pleased.

I think Cole has a good relationship with Pruitt. He seems to have a ton of respect for him and as @InVOLuntary pointed out, Pruitt was smiling and shaking Cole's hand as soon as the interview was over.

Only 3 starters on D (Taylor, Bituli, and Warrior) leave. All other starters and back-ups return plus Gooden so D will be a force. Third year in the same system with everyone knowing assignments.

Each is the unquestionable leader and on-field captain that gets everyone set at their level (one leader at each level of the defense is crucial). Their effect this year on the defense can't be quantified, though we saw how bad basic alignment could be without the Field General Bituli. Pruitt's D is complex and NEEDS smart, veteran leaders out there to run it.

Now, I think we can groom Toots into the unquestionable captain on D and he will get us aligned. My only question right now is if he can develop that alpha swagger to push huge DL around like Bituli does and scream "get your a** RIGHT HERE". I think he can in time, he's not that quiet. Guys will follow him.

Gooden could be the leader at the first level too. Then it is just about finding a 3rd level leader. Could Tank, Flowers, Sham, or someone else become that? Time will tell.
