Tap the breaks. Just a teeny tiny bit! This is basically a whole new team that’s gotta all come together and figure out what the hell they are doing. That’s tough to do.

We have to see how it all comes together first. It's immensely difficult to basically replace an entire team and have them firing on all cylinders game 1. Chemistry is an underrated part of the team composition. In Lane we trust!

I think we'll get a few more OL commits soon, and we're gonna bag Seaton later this week.

What do you think this years Ole Miss team did? They had 18-20 new starters (depending on where you look).

Hugely underrated. We still haven't given Burrow enough credit for his locker room leadership, practice leadership, stadium tunnel leadership.

JD, Lane better add at least 2 starting OL. 1 OT and 1 G.

Chill out now…

Leavitt will miss all of spring and Husan has never started…

That’s kind of vital

I see a lot of people saying tap the brakes, but Kiffin's expectation is to make the 12 team. Not far fetched.

Take a look at the 9-game SEC schedule with 5 road games & re-think.

To everyone saying “hold the breaks,” they’re not dumping millions of dollars into this roster for a rebuild.

Yeah, the only expectation I have next year is having a top 25 defense. Lane’s offense is hard to learn so it might take a year or so for the players to get comfortable, but it’s the best offense in college football without question.

Keep in mind there is going to be a lot of national push back for the SEC in the playoffs next year after getting 5 teams in and performing so badly this year. Maybe only 3 SEC teams if it doesn't go to 16

Jesus Christ yall are doing it already


I’m not sure if you know this, but…..


It takes a whole lot more to win games than the names on your roster. How will the team gel? How good will our schemes be? Will we get bit by the injury bug?



This place does this shite every single year

Luckily we don't have a ton of new pieces on D so hopefully they can be really sharp out of the gate. could take a bit to gel completely on Offense when replacing basically an entire offense. we will still score points though so we will just have to see how quick it comes together. would think year 2 would be earliest playoff appearance but you never know nowadays. everyone is replacing a good bit each year.

I'm not putting that on any new coach that has to rebuild the o-line. If it happens, fantastic.
