Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[WarMachine]

I just don’t see it. I’m preparing for the worst and hoping to be surprised.

A lot of drama related to election cycle IMO. #nopolitics

 

[Devo182]

Anyone think 2021 is going to Be better than 2020 and I’m not talking football?

Has to be. Vaccine is streaming in, bitcoin and stocks are going up, BBall is headed to the top, bring it on.

It’s going to be worse

 

[tnhunter 10]

I think lose to BAMA, UF, UGA, OM, UK, and Mizzou. Win OOC. Pruitt relieved of duties before Vandy.

I just dont understand why we even keep him. No one but maybe Fulmer believes he can make it past next year.

I agree about the election thing which is why I’m in the not gonna get better camp. #nopolitics

We would never have let Majors have the time to rebuild the nuked UT program...we would have hated him and torn him to shreds by that fourth season...something to think about.

Majors never really tore it up in all honesty

#1. Having a national championship and being a VFL legend gives you a lot of equity.
#2. That was a completely different era of college football.

So?...we still would have torn him to shreds and hated him.

I think (and this depends on staff / I will make adjustments based on final staff changes) that 6-6/7-5 is our floor for 2021 in a 12 game schedule. Those 4 games you mentioned as losses I think are what we would be underdogs in. The rest I think we would be favored in outside of someone like UK based on when the schedule comes out for us to play them.

Once final staff has been made, assuming Pruitt gets retained, I will be happy to revisit and revise

Am I the only one that realizes ole miss only won 4 games this season..... the biggest win they had this season was a 1 point victory against Kentucky.....they keep getting pumped in with Alabama, LSU, and Florida.

 

[Weezer]

I just expect every year to keep going downhill from here on out.

People see an explosive offense and figure if they can field a halfway decent defense, the wins will come.

No...but he did the hard work of rebuilding the program. We truly may never be worth a damn again because we will never give anyone the time to do it.

Yeah...but they scored so many points whiles losing..

Pruitt staying.

Massive staff changes incoming.

Time will tell if it looks like 2012/2017 or something else. Typically hard for a staff overhaul to succeed out of the gates.

Only glimmer of hope is we have time to line up a successful replacement. If nothing else, that bucks the trend for the previous 3 hires.

I'm just sitting here with Devo watching Bama get their teeth kicked in......
















By the Vols next year.

 

[JMSqb11]

We would lose to Mizzou right now. We were lucky we caught them early. KY skull dragged us on our own field. We play up there next season. Pitt is a very good team. We should beat KY and SC. Don't see us beating more than one of KY, MO, or Pitt. MO is at their place too. If you would set the O/U at 7, I'd take the under, all day, everyday.

Well the season is over. This year’s team and this year’s Mizzou have nothing to do with 2021’s roster and depth charts.

I agree with this to some degree.... 85 was special and again in 89 he had us heading in the right direction.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Pruitt isn't going to change his stripes in one year. Ain't happening. Same problems will resurface next year. Pruitt is what he is. One thing he's not is a head coach.

 

[BleedorangeinGA]

Mental health is no joke. I've suffered with anxiety and depression in the past. It never really goes away completely. Hope he's in a good place now

Recently lost my BIL to mental illness. You are correct, it’s no joke. I hope you stay in better place friend. Mental illness has to break through the social ceiling of negative stigma.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

The 70s were almost as bad as the last decade. It was a hard rebuild.

Do you really think our roster will be better next year?

If Ole Miss had a shell of a competent defense, they would have won 7-8 games.

LSU, Auburn, and Florida were all shootouts where Ole Miss had no defense.

Regardless, Ole Miss is likely the second best offense in the league second to Bama. They will hang monster points for a few seasons. If they get a defense, they will win a lot of games.

Also Kiffin is a solid coach. People hate the guy but he’s a brilliant offensive coach and will hang mad offensive numbers

Its interesting to see how they rank these guys in the portal. A lot of our guys that are in there show up with the best available. They have JG as the 2nd best transfer QB. Pope and Lowe are in the top TE targets, Brandon Johnson in the WRs. They haven't done most positions yet, but there is no way Pruitt can be selling that his plan for turning this around is landing some transfers like has been hinted at. There just aren't impact players there. The TE from La-Monroe sounds like a good player though. Robinson from South Carolina would be one of the best defenders, but he's not an elite player.

They had the best offense in the country for P5 teams. If they can get any defense they will be very good. It sounds like Bo Davis is probably headed there so thats a start.

Yeah I know we had hit rock bottom..... no one has the patience any more and it creates a cycle..... hire a guy.... slightly build the roster..... fire him and then some of the players and start all over again.
