re: Mullen did one of the best coaching jobs I have ever seen

We just need a rock solid OL & DL to get there...we have a lot of skill players...its the trenches were games are won or lost usually.

We already have some quality players on the DL..they did get shoved around some, Slaton, Campbell, Conliffe, Dunlap all return...except for Dunlap the other three were true sophs and still learning/growing. DE should be good with maybe Zuniga, Zach Carter, Chatfield, Langham to name the ones returning. We will need an infusion of depth, talented depth.

OL will have Banks, Bleich, Buchanan, Forsythe, McCoy, Moore, Heggie, Taylor. Gouriage, McDowell. Hard for true frosh to start in SEC games on the OL...physically and mentally. Do we have 5 starters ready for SEC battle? Of course Taylor has 2 yrs starting exp. Buchanan started the game on Saturday. I think our early games will help the OL develop as a team by the 5th game ? Would love to see a big nasty OL transfer or come from JUCO to help.

When he gets his own Quarterback it's a fricking wrap.

He was literally coaching guys who were pretty much fullbacks who could throw it far.

Now he's got guys who have had QB coaches in high school, who are running.

Really, the defense is almost there but it has depth issues, but those will be fixed pretty easily I think.

After that, the way Perine has progressed, even Pierce.

Our best WRs are transfers that he recruited (but doesn't show up in recruiting classes). Man, it's just a matter of getting the right guy at QB -- even if it means Franks checking down more/falling forward when he runs, we'll still be dangerous.

But one of the Jones dudes? We're there. Just need the depth on defense.
