    I'd feel more comfortable with 5-7 in 2025 if he hadn't needed such a big "improvement" (but still worst team in the SEC by FPI, 66th to 49th or maybe a little worse after they update it through the bowls) over 2024, but I don't know what the "he improved" copers would be saying instead.
    It's weird because Arkansas beat us by 33 points. In no universe were we beating them in 2024. They could have hung 70 on us had they wanted to. It's a nonsensical hypothetical.

    It's undeniable that we improved from 2024 to 2025. That is universally agreed to by all the pundits.
    Doesn't mean 2025 was a success or even acceptable. But we were improved objectively.
