More of a rebuild than you admit. The 2015 team wasnt good and it lost solid NFL players that were not replaced. The 2013 class was pure crap.

I understand, but we still had much better talent than most on our schedule. The very teams that played us tough, or beat us. However, I agree, that we have to give Smart more than a year or two....or three, for that matter. I am all in for giving him a minimum of 5 years, provided nothing hinckey happens like he is caught cheating big time, or some kind of morals thing doesn't pop up along the lines of Bobby Petrino.

My problem with Smart last year, is going to be my complaint about him this year. Many on here (I don't believe you were one of them) defended him by saying he was playing our OL out of position to try to put the best combination possible on the field. I get that....but now those same players are going to a different position this year. We wasted a year of experience for some of those guys to salvage an 8-4 year? Once he saw last year was a wash, why not get the underclassmen experience at their natural positions to get them ready for this year? I really don't want to hear that we have OLinemen playing in new positions this year as an excuse.
