Way early on both counts. There are plenty of red flags surrounding his coaching ability from last season, but I'm gonna give the guy a chance to get some of his guys into the system before claiming that he can't coach.

In terms of recruiting, he's more or less holding serve in terms of landing similar classes that Mullen typically got. 11th out of 14 SEC teams last cycle, and while he's gotten a nice start to the '20 season, the class isn't exactly filled with blue chippers. With the transfers, we'll just have to see how they pan out. I know a lot of folks are praising Joe not giving up, and he does deserve credit, but the whole transfer portal deal is nothing like it was back when Mullen was here, and it's just hard to gauge how Dan would have utilized it back in the day as well if it existed.

Anyway, kudos to Joe for working on two critical needs late in the game, but I'm still waiting to see how this next season pans out.

You mean like when we just ran the football 4 times on the goal line vs Iowa? or got stuffed against Florida running or LSU?

You conveniently forget, just like that moron Coach34, that running the football worked MARGINALLY against decent defenses.

But you will slink away with this ******** soon enough.

Of course If are you do is run with your quarterback instead of the running backs.
You have to be creative with your running game not just run with the QB.

They were not first round picks the year before, that's a dumb statement. You can't be serious..

Like hell they weren’t. Simmons has been flat out unblockable since he stepped on campus as a true freshmen. Sweat was pretty dominant in 2017 as well, and wasn’t even a first rounder THIS year until he ran a 4.4 at the combine. The same thing would have happened last year if he declared....he didn’t just all the sudden get that fast in one offseason. Abram looked kinda clueless at times in Grantham’s system, but became dominant under a more competent DC / assistants that helped him not think too much. It’s downright silly that you think those guys just rolled out of bed all the sudden with elite NFL caliber athletic ability as soon as Mullen left.
