Let’s talk next year

Let's not.

It's all wild arse guesses at this point.

We have no idea who our OC or DC is for next year. We don't know what complement of position coaches we will have. We don't know who our QB is. Until we see Gus back in the saddle with a press conference or two, we've got nothing to go on. It really is almost like Gus is starting over.

At their next opportunity, I have to believe the press corps will push Gus to talk about the specifics of how he is going to turn this around. But to be honest, until Gus figures out who will agree to be OC, DC, and position coaches, he really has nothing to talk about.

It would be different if Gus was a coach with his own distinct identity, but he isn't.

Next year looks to a rebuilding year.. AKA we are going to lose a lot of games we aren't actually rebuilding anything. We will just suck.

Did something happen with Kevin Steele since he signed a 3 year deal in October?

Losses Include:

DT Derrik Brown
DE Marlon Davidson
DT Dontavious Russell
QB Stidham
LB Deshaun Davis
WR Ryan Davis
FB/QB Chandler Cox
DT Andrew WIlliams
LB Monty Atkinson (I think)
LB Darrell WIlliams (I think)
DT Johntavius Johnson (I think)


Possible Losses Include:

LT Prince Tega
CB Jamel Dean
DE Nick Coe
OT Calvin Ashley

I'm guessing it's Cord at QB.

Gus doesn't seem to like Malik very much. Have no clue about Gatewood, and Gus is too paranoid to play a true freshman.

Sheesh.. I hadn't even thought about those DL losses. Yeah, we are seriously going to be horrible. Honestly the only way we could compete is to bring in Freeze and hope we put up 40+ ppg because our defense is gonna be more like the swiss cheese version we saw in the early Gus years.

DE Nick Coe

Is a sophomore this year so he isn't eligible to declare for the draft and I haven't heard any rumors of him wanting to transfer. What am I missing - why is he on this list?

Coe is a redshirt sophomore and can declare for the draft since it's been 3 years since he graduated high school.

We have a real opportunity to be gutted along the front seven, but hopefully some of the guys return. Jeff Holland should've stayed.

One of my friends says Gatewood supposedly could light it up in practice and has a a huge arm. Just kinda sporadic on accuracy. Pretty physical runner which is what we need IMO instead of chicken shite Stidham who’s scared to get hit. Rumor is Gus thinks he has an attitude problem and that is why he didn’t get any snaps this year. We all know how a glorified practice QB ends up under Gus (JJ) so I’ll be here good or bad next year.
