Excellent!

Has Jawahr Jordan signed anywhere yet?

I might still get to see my dream backfield of 2020!

I believe we will see a big improvement on the O-Line this year. I had NO faith in coach Cav at all. Yes we had injuries and depth wasn't there either but other teams had the same scenario and were not at the bottom. I just believe he couldn't coach. This new O-line coach has a long and proven record of consistency and we will see him transplant it here for sure.

So we'll have one guy from Florida and another from Texas. Beats getting a guy from South Alabama.

Looking at this lineup, this is as deep as we have been on the lines in a very long time. We have 4 legitimate running backs, we have some quality depth at QB, and although we lost a couple guys, we still have quality 2-deep at LB.

My concerns are (1) can anyone emerge from the WR group, ideally 2 or 3 guys who become contributors, and (2) can we take all the losses to the secondary? That group looks a little thin to me.

Otherwise, the pieces are certainly here for a big bounce-back year. New blood on the coaching staff, especially on the offensive line, and the coordinators having a spring to evaluate and teach people new schemes that they struggled with last year. All these things point to potentially a surprisingly good year.

As I said months ago, our over-under should be 4 games. If Dino can't win 4 games with this group, then something is wrong. If we have a dozen or more injuries again before the season even starts, that indicates that something is wrong with either our S&C or our approach to spring ball.

I think the talent is there to win 6-8 games, if a couple guys emerge from the WR and DB groups. With better play calling on offense, using the whole field, having a legitimate run game, and Tommy maybe having better presence in the pocket if he's not getting sacked 5 times a game - all of these things could contribute to quite a good year.

Yeah, that secondary looks a little thin in both numbers and size. We lost guys with ideal measureables. I'm guessing the weights on that list haven't been updated. Hopefully, some of the young guys that were forced into action last year will add some quality weight.

I think it has to be 6 games. That's the bar.

Agree. Should be able to win at least 6 games with the players and depth we have.

 

[IthacaMatt]

I think it has to be 6 games. That's the bar.

That's the goal, certainly, to make a bowl game. I don't disagree.

But after a year in which we only won 1 game, and the year before that, coming off a 10 win season with a loaded roster and only winning 5 games, I think 4 wins is an important number.

To me, and I guess what I'm trying to say, is that if we win LESS THAN 4 games, Dino is fully on the hot seat, whether or not we can afford his buy out.

Everything you described is actually my justification for why the bar is 6.

The 1 win season, fair or not, acknowledging exceptional circumstances, means 4 wins isn't good enough. Not enough progress.

If we win 4 games that's 6 losing seasons in our last 7, half of them after our one winning season. That would make it hard to sell the program to recruits- and to fans. We've got to get up in the air before we run out of runway.

Yes, 4 wins or less is a "Break Glass in Case of Emergency" situation for Dino's tenure.
