Does anyone else have the weird feeling that Mac will overhaul the offense for the Alabama game and somehow we pull off the huge upset!

Remember when John Calipari had a huge breakthrough with his offense a couple years ago right before the SEC Tourney? Then he almost took us out in the conference championship and made the finals before losing to UConn. Hey, it could happen!

Anyone get the feeling that if the Vandy-UT outcome was known before our LSU game, we would have sleep-walked and lost? As long as we got to Atlanta.... Hee-Haw seems to think that is the ultimate goal and the team has/will play accordingly.

The only way the offense would be instantly 'revamped' would be to trot out Franks or Trask under center on play one with absolutely nobody knowing about it. In other words, not going to happen.

Cal admitted he stopped calling plays and let the Harrison kid dictate. What are the odds Nuss and Mac stop calling plays?

This is what's been pissing me off. The offense as a scheme works. When you read the analyses that are out there with the nifty GIF's and such, people are open. WR's are running open even with lousy route running. There are some glaring weaknesses though. Primarily blocking. The OLine is strides better than last year, but they are average right now, not SEC average....just average. Even behind an average line, a decent QB would have had some big games, but we had one. Flashes here and there, but only one good game. So that means are QB's are average....at best. Then you throw in the fact that Scarlett knows less about pass pro than half the posters on here. So lets recap, the scheme is good enough to have WR's running open despite poor route running. Pass pro can't stop any perimeter blitzer with Scarlett in the game. When we do give protection, the QB's don't know how to read a defense or they are just too surprised to have 2.5 seconds to throw the ball.

So either we have some poor talent or poor coaching because it's mostly an execution problem. Not saying I like the play calling, but it'd look a hell of a lot better if the plays were actually executed. I really haven't seen any improvement from a coaching perspective. We've recruited some nice skill players at WR and RB. I hope we get to see Trask and/or Franks in game 1 next year, but who knows if they are really going to be any better. I think the real issue is the staff, which is what makes Marianna's comments so refreshing. Whether he approves or not, changes are coming.

As far as recruiting goes, I really don't mind the lack of 5*s. What pisses me off with recruiting is that he doesn't manage the roster. Three cycles and we have 1 DT commit to show for it. No big name LB's. Numbers too low at OL. I mean come the f8ck on.

I think he's a good coach, but he's the leader of a big boy organization now. Got to be more than a coach.
