Our success will come down to how willing the big time boosters are to open up their pocketbooks. SEC is a LOS league so we need to be paying for quality OL and DL or it?s going to be more 5-7 seasons in the future

OM's team this year would have went 9-3 against the schedule they have next year if it was played this year.
Predicting them to be 9-3 is predicting no drop off. Looking at next year... the bottom end is entirely plausible.
vs. Louisville (in Nashville) - tossup
vs. Charlotte - win
vs. LSU - tossup
at Florida - Pete's first road game, tossup between first year coaches with lean to home team
at Vandy - probable loss
vs. Mizzou - tossup
at Texsa - probable loss
vs. Auburn - another first year coach battle - tossup with lean to home team
vs. Georgia - probable loss
at OU - probable loss
vs. Wofford - win
Egg Bowl - depends on each team's season to this point. So tossup.
I see 8-4 if things break good for them. 2-10 on the table if they flub. (2-10 is on the table for us as well - but 10-2 is entirely possible if things break good for us)
Let's see what happens when they take two steps back next year and the fan base splits on GoldingQuote:

They will still be relevant, but not the consistent 9-3/10-2/11-1 that Lane did.
8-9 is possible. Which is a significant drop.Quote:

There was no drop off against Tulane without Kiffin but I'll bet it will be against Georgia.
Just like the olden days!!Quote:

If they fix this ridiculous transfer situation.....lookout.Quote:

I disagree completely. Because to me you have to be able to recruit better than ever in this era. And how would he work with a front office scouting department? Honestly, I think the reality is we got leak Dan already from 2009-2017.Quote:

In the meantime we are improving. If we win say, 7 games and they win 8 that's not a huge gap anymore.Quote:

With the transfer portal the way it is it's just ridiculous to speculate nexts years W/L, Heck Wisner is transferring from Texas. The only sure thing is UGa and OhState will be in the CFP.
UNLV's QB just entered the portal. This was a guy who was the MWC player of the year.
Dan is going to struggle in this era.
66% of ole miss roster is transfers. Lane and his GM had a good system of evaluations.
I don't see them simply being as good as they were and now have a tougher schedule.
He just went 10-2 at UNLV and signed the number one class in his conference. He'll be fine.Quote:

I agree 100%. I've been thinking the same thing. 7-5 vs 8-4 is the same team with a few breaks falling here and there.Quote:
