Like Goff and Donnan?
Richt's recruiting was ok. But the roster management was an F. What good is a recruiting class when half of the class doesn't contribute as upper-classmen. What good is the freshmen recruiting and roster when transfer after transfer walks right in and starts.

Right won 10 games with one of his worst teams, star running back injured, and a coaching staff in turmoil and he sucked to the same guys making mountains of excuses for Smart....

You're soft. I'm sure that our coaching staff stays up late at night worried about if you are encouraged or not.
Drink some whiskey and let manhood have a turn.

I didn't say anything about recruiting. All these upperclassmen you talk about, if they're good they're gone after their junior year. I'm talking about coaching. Wins and losses. It would be different if we got better as the year went on but that wasn't the case. We struggled all year and never played a complete game. That falls on coaching.

And he got fired because his ceiling was 10 wins and getting worse.
No excuses for Smart. We are bad. We lack senior leadership. Our senior safety Mauger got burned on back to back plays. If it wasn't for an injury, he would have been riding the bench.
Our best players are young. So long as they aren't processed, and we keep loading up behind them we will get better.
But we will have Gaillard playing a new position. Wynn playing a new position. Wynn needs a replacement at LG. Gaillard needs a replacement at RG. And someone needs to kick out at RT.
I wouldn't be surprised if the offenaive line takes a few games to get it figured out next year.

Actually only 2 grad transfers and 1 freshmen and Maurice Smith would start or be the nickel back at every other SEC school except for Bama and Florida.
UF started 2 Freshman and 1 grad transfer and won the SECe last year BTW.
I expect our defense to be much better next yr along with Eason and WR's and our schedule is once again pathetically easy...8 to 9 wins minimum and absolutely no embarrassing blowouts like the OM game.

We struggled because we are bad at the 2 things that matter most.
Rushing TDs. And preventing rushing TDs. Everything else is just window dressing.
I expect improvement next year on the rushing TDs allowed. The offense will be up to our line and tight ends. I'm not holding my breath for a perfect season with as many changes as we will see on the line. Continuity helps.

Who was our leading tackler in 2015? A transfer from UAB for Christ's sakes.
Starting tackle this season. A crappy tackle from a crappy school.
Starting qb in 2015? A backup from virginia. And he should have been our starter this season if we really cared about the number of wins above all else.
Starts at TE, QB,DL for true freshmen. Tons of reps at lots of DL positions, WR, DB for freshmen.
That is not indicative of a good roster left over by Richt.

Goff had one 10 win and one 9 win season out of 7.
Donnan did the same out of 5 seasons.
Seriously... what are you trying to say?
Kirby can get us there... but we are crap on the offensive line. And there is a chance that we are cap next year as well. A dominant defense can give us a punchers chance. But if we cant run the ball in the red zone, we will still struggle against good teams and in late game situations.

Tennessee's problem was that Kiffin's recruiting class all bailed and then Dooley recruited like shite
Yes, but Butch recruited fine, had talent and still sucked. Now all the hope and belief in that program has gone the way of Dobbs' hair.
THAT is what we're in danger of. Tennessee's now set up for 5-7 more years of shite.

We are only in danger if we kick off or lose the young talent. We are out recruiting Tennessee. But if the players don't see their upper-class years, it won't benefit us at all. The same problem bit Richt (and he never over compensated in the next recruiting class for the attrition).

Or if we don't...you know...develop and coach up that talent. Games ain't won on paper. The SECCG would be LSU-Tennessee if that were the case.

You don't have to agree with me. But the freshmen and sophomore talent looks good. Better than the senior talent.
We are heading the right direction. I just can't see us improve from a bad running team to a good running team in 1 offseason.

Richt didn't suck, and he went 8-4 with a very talented team in year 1.
We had growing pains this year both for coaches and players. They both need to improve to get those worked out. They absolutely can, and this season will be forgotten if they do.

Not even close to the same schedule as this year and CMR also beat a top 5 team on the road and our worse loss was by 14 pts.We all know what he did with his talent the next year.
