2022: Total Defense Ranking: 40th. Gave up 23.1 PPG.
He had ONE defense ranked 40th. The rest were not top 50. That is an average DC.
You also have to remember that those defenses had: Martin Emerson, Emmanuel Forbes, Jett Johnson, Nathaniel Watson, Shawn Preston Jr, Jalen Green, Jackie Matthews, Jaden Crumedy, Errol Thompson, Tyrus Wheat, and I could go on but you get the picture. Those teams had guys that could start on other SEC teams. We had MAYBE two that could start for another SEC team this year and MULTIPLE who couldn't start for a G5 team.
I don't think he is. I have some pretty good reason to believe he is not.Quote:

Just because Lebby hasn't gotten in front of a microphone and said, "Guys, David Turner 17 sucks at his job and I'm canning his ass" doesn't mean he thinks he's doing a good job. He doesn't. He's not happy with Turner. He didn't want him to begin with but it was pushed on him by boosters who JUST HAD TO HAVE the great recruiting maestro David Turner who one time kind of helped recruit Jeffrey Simmons.Quote:

Landyn Watson from Marshall will be visiting some time this week. LB with 66 tackles on the year.
Reports say Craver is in the portal.
I talked about that being a possibility. I got some info over the weekend and this morning that made me feel better, but was always kind of 50/50 on him.Quote:

And I know Mario Craver may hate to hear it, but there's 450 Mario Craver's out there and about 150 in the portal. This offense will always attract receiver talent. Craver also has some growing up to do. Maybe he has a change of heart, but if not you move on and go get Sheffield from UNT and Anderson from Oklahoma and roll.
Raion Strader was just offered. CB out of Miami(OH). I'm extremely high on him. He would be a Day 1 starter for us.
Certainly a loss, but Coleman is the one you CAN’T lose. Craver is much more replaceable.Quote:

Reginald Hughes, Edge rusher from Jax State but we may move to LB, picked up an offer. Fmr OM signee out of Tunica. Went nuts at Jax State this year. 83 tackles, 4.5 sacks
Clev Lubin, LB from Coastal Carolina, also picked up an offer. 43 tackles, 9.5 sacks on the year.
