So Ole Miss just added a transfer
RB from SMU, a transfer LB from TCU. They have a top tranfer CB officially visiting this weekend. Deion Smith is transferring there if/when he gets his grades in order.
Meanwhile in Starkville, Coach Leach can't even find the time to attend our pro day.
Things are not trending well with our football program.

He gets us to 9 wins total this year (including an egg bowl win) I won't care.
I'm trying to be more positive about the team this year, but the schedule makes that difficult.

Damn. Nice thread starter dude. Did you wake up and step on a Lego on the way to the pisser?

To be fair - he was pretty critical of our guys that skipped the bowl game, so him skipping pro day may be payback.
I think he was wrong about the bowl game, and he is obviously wrong here - but he gets us to 9 wins - who cares.

This staff looks like they've damn near quit recruiting. It's getting ridiculous.

9 wins is a tough task. I'd be pretty happy with 8

I'm counting the bowl game. Also the egg bowl counts as 2 wins this year.
8-4 with losses to A&M, UGA, Bama and one other team (not named the bears) and a bowl win.
With LSU, Arkansas and AU all rebuilding and our standard 4 easy Non-Conference wins, 8 regular season wins is what improvement in year 3 looks like.

Is it just me - or has recruiting in general not a focus. Maybe I'm getting old, but I used to be able to name you 10-15 kids that were priority in-state kids of an upcoming year. Now? I couldn't name more than 3. Probably just me getting old.

Agree, tough schedule. 8 wins would be great.

man, I hate to tell you, we aren't winning 9 games. Every team on the schedule already has their gameplan set against us. See Texas Tech for notes. And we don't have Charles Cross out there anymore.
We will be looking for a new coach after this season. It's unfortunate, but Leach doesn't recruit at an SEC level and he refuses to adapt his scheme.

We're passing on some instate kids because of the offense we run. OM is about to clean up in-state this year too. We can't even fill our spots with portal guys. We'll see what's left after spring ball, but I'm not optimistic at this point.

If we can win 7 games and one being ole miss this year that will show that Leach has improved each year and we are on the right track. Winning more than 7 would be gravy and should help Leach win over the entire fan base

9 wins? Are y'all high? We've won 9 in the regular season like what, 4 times ever?

For context we only started playing 12 games like 20 years ago. We've had a few 8 win seasons that would have been 9 win seasons in today's era.
8 is very doable for us. Win a bowl that's 9. We did that in 2010, 2014, 2017, and I believe 2018?
At any rate that's possible for us. We won 7 last year so we're taking a 2 win improvement. It's not like we won 2 games last year or something.

You could say we've never recruited at an SEC level. Leach's last class is probably better than several we've had in recent years. My concern is going into the season with only one qb game ready, and he's coming off two bad outings.

I don't get how 8 regular season wins is too much to ask for next year in year 3 with especially with LSU having a complete rebuild, AU is in damn shambles and Arkansas lost a ton as well. Throw in the fact that the bears lost Corral who was responsible for at least 3 of their wins last year, I don't see how 8 wins is some type of miracle.
We should be favored against AU and Arkansas and I bet we will be under a 6 point dog against LSU, and my guess a pick em against Ole Miss. This is also making A&M a free shot for Leach at home. I'm not expecting that one, which is pretty generous.
8 regular season wins with everything we have returning is a good season. I think we should expect a good season in year 3 after dealing with some pretty shitty games the last two years.

Ole Miss didn't clean up in state for '22. We did better there. They did try a lot harder the portal than we did and results show it.
