On offense, I’m assuming we’re losing all of WR’s? RB’s will have to make a decision on whether to portal or come back. O-Line appears to be ok, but not certain on Bobo?

Defense, we could return a decent amount but the portal will determine how much we retain.

We’re gonna need tons of help at WR and the secondary.

Any early look at the portal shows some promising options at WR and DB. Those are “good” positions to be portal reliant on. I also think UGA could end up paying Branch to stay if he doesn’t have a clear Rd1 grade.

We desperately need a high end edge rusher and could also upgrade at interior DL.

I expect we’ll end up with a nationally competitive roster but don’t think we’ll ever replicate the “old” days on OL/DL.

We need an elite edge rusher. The banking on development days aren't over but we can't wait for a player to maybe turn into a star if he doesn't transfer by then.

When you lose to a team without a coach, the rest of the excuses don’t matter. Who cares.

I’m also not aware of any real strong feelings that our young edge rushers are on the verge of stardom. Basically all of our recent top draft picks at that position were making an impact as freshmen.

Improving the OL and DL is paramount if Kirby wants to start winning some of these playoff games. I would start there and coaches should be part of the fix.

A team without a coach, yes, but also a team on a mission to shove it up their departed coach's arse along with a sideways pineapple. Regardless of anything else, Ole Miss is highly motivated.

paying Branch to stay


If we can get him to stay, our O will be unstoppable. GS and Frazier back with most of the OLine and Branch? Maaaaaan...we'll put up some points on anybody.

But the D is a different story. Its going to have to man up and play with consistency. We need lots more firepower on the edge. What happened to Isaiah Gibson? He was the top rated DE by some services and he never saw the field. He and some others, or the portal, is going to have to give us a more ferocious pass rush, or we are going to continue to struggle against teams with highpowered Os...reference last night's game. SMH
