After we beat Ole Miss, there was a lot of buzz. This feels stronger though. But there were a lot of folks who thought butters was for real until Grier shyt the bed.
I think we are really close guys. We just have to make it over the hump and keep this class building and together. It's been a lon row to hoe, but we're seeing some glimpses now.
Agree w/ Law that we're at least starting to stock the cupboard. It may not be stocked w/ top 5-10 talent (yet), but it's getting more and more stocked. We have less gaps in the roster (such as OL when McElwain took over).
Honestly, I don't like Nussmeir as our OC and hope he moves on after the season. However, continuity goes a long way and we saw what rotating OC's have done since 2009. Now that we have solid depth at OL and - what seems like - a solid coach (at least he's energetic, in-your-face, and likes to recruit) it seems we are "just a QB away".
If you look at Jimbo and Dabo, both of them won't be confused for Urban Meyer or Nick Saban....but they both recruit well (Dabo recruits well enough, Jimbo recruits as well as anyone not named Saban or Meyer). So they have solid rosters, which helps overcome any lack of coaching they may or may not have (I actually think they are both solid, well above average coaches). But what both of those guys did was - they found a super-star QB. Honestly, that's the formula these days: build a solid roster.....and land a super-star QB....and you have a shot to beat anyone. Will McElwain put that formula together? Who knows. I always thought that one day Mark Richt would get that combo, but he never quit found the super-star QB (sure, Stafford was a super-star but he was built for the NFL game, not the modern college game). I hope Corral is the man....or Fields or Allen. Who knows, but at least we're not recruiting like the step-child this year...
