When and why did our DL recruiting take a nosedive?
That's a multi-faceted question.

Mullen, while being an offensive guy, knew we had to lead with defense. Moorhead, Leach and Lenny didn't do this as much. Some of that may have had to do with not understanding the SEC.

But also, it doesn't seem like the state has produced that many stars lately on the DL. We've got to get back to developing the guys like Cam Young.
I also think that going forward, elite DLs are just going to be harder to come by. Wish we'd adopt the 3-3-5 full time, as MS produces more hybrid edge/linebacker types.

Which of these are known as being strong defensive minded coaches? None of them, even our present DC
Arnett is OK, he's just doing something now that he's not used to. Trying to keep up with a quick strike offense on the other side.

I forgive him for 2023, as he was young and had a lot of toxic outside forces pulling on him.

That said I don't want him as head coach again any time soon.

BTW, I can’t be the only guy who’s excited that GEICO saw fit to resurrect the Hump Day commercials with the coolest camel in broadcast history.

“Mike, Mike, Mike…”
Did you know the camel's voice was the guy from "This is Us"? I didn't either until some reel the other day. But I saw him talking about it and he said they shot several new commercials. I guess we'll see them soon.

Whenever I see that hump day commercial, I want to throw things at my TV. It was funny the first 100 times I saw it 10 years ago when it initially ran. Then it was kinda funny when I saw it when they started running it again. Now it is just nails on the chalkboard irritating.
