Other than head coach, what are our most glaring positions that need upgrades?

Linebackers, O line and WR's?

In no certain order:

OL, TE, WR, QB, RB, DL, LB, CB, S, & K. And of course, a coaching staff that can develop and motivate. I think that may do it.

Of course, name calling. You have nothing else do you?

I said the post was retarded, not you. Name calling would be me calling you retarded, no?

I don't think there's a huge talent gap between us and the elite teams at any position other than qb. I think we should have recruited better qb' s after driskel, it's like they were only looking for back ups when they signed morningwig and staver. All the other positions I think we're very talented at. I just really think this is a poorly coached team I'm sorry for bringing it back to the head coach.

It is obvious what your intent was. My reply was a lot better that "kicker". Our K had nothing to do with blown assignments and giving up a record amount of yards against bama. Nor was the K responsible for that anemic offense display we saw last week or at any time during the last several years now. But, OK, whatever.

Couldn't agree more

WR, TE, keep O linemen coming in (some of the young ones are showing some promise), LB.

My intent was to call your post retarded, which I did by saying your post was retarded. Our dline is deep with talent. Our oline is light years ahead of where it was last year and about half of our current commits are olinemen. RB? Yeah, that's where it went full retard.

No, not at all. We should have top talent. That top talent should play like top talent. This is not the case now, nor has it been for a few years. Period.

The issue is not talent in most positions you spoke of, it's the man calling the shots. The OP asked for things other than the coaching, and the talent is there basically across the board.

If the talent is there, there is no proof. When I see the proof, I will believe.

Outside of Fowler and Bullard, I'd disagree on the DL. Yes, we have depth. But beyond a few players, I see a lot of role players, not stars.

And while I agree that we have talent at Rb, there's nothing to say we don't have just Taylor and Powell at this point next year with KT on the verge of declaring for the draft. It's not a knock on current players to say we have a need at a certain position.

Well in that case I hope for your sake the next coach comes in and just clears house cause this team has no athletes.

Willis has great potential. DTs typically take a couple years to get SEC ready, so that is in more of a wait and see trend. Who is on the verge of declaring at RB? And I hope Lane sticks around, I would like to see him in some game action.

Yep. This team is full of potential. What if this? What if that? Nothing to show for any of it.

Well, they all have tons of potential. And yes, it takes a while to get SEC ready, but you should see it along the way. Think of guys like Marcus Thomas, Floyd, TDavis, etc. I don't see that with Brantley, Bostick, Ivey, Sherrit, etc.

And I love Lane as well. But has he ever even run a play in a real game? He may end up being great for us. But I don't think you consider him a "known" and handle recruiting based on that.
