My Uneducated Opinion on the latest commit

I do not claim to know anything about Deion Smiths game and ability. I’m sure he’s a great athlete. My question is how much did we just pay for a JuCo? Look at all of these proven SEC caliber WRs in the portal. Is it worth spending money on JuCo targets? I’m just not sold… I will be a huge fan of his but we have seen other “big names” arrive and barely get PT. Don’t take it personal. That’s my opinion.

Offensive line…we got lucky

Our line was average all year.

How lucky are we our injuries didn’t happen until the end of the year? We basically only played hurt at the position vs UGA (didn’t matter), ULM, and State.

Those injuries happen earlier and this season is a completely different story.

I say all this, not to be negative, but to highlight how well our coaches did with this weakness and how fortunate we were.

Now…you absolutely can’t do that again. Offensive Line absolutely is our biggest need and has to be the priority. WR are sexy, but won’t matter if we can block anybody.

Question for the experts: is Garrison any good or was it just talent?

This has felt like a better overall coaching job than 2021. Maybe that's just recency bias, but getting this team to 10 wins is nothing short of remarkable. It was supposed to be a rebuilding year and we're going to a NY6 Bowl. We fought like hell in 11 of 12 games. 2024 sets up to be CFP or bust. Here are my 30,000 feet above thoughts (very general):

I'll start with defense because I still believe defense wins championships:
2022 Defense vs the conference: 11th scoring and 9th total
2023 Defense vs the conference: 6th scoring and 9th total again

I've been critical a few times of Golding and his gameplan/in-game calls. But he improved our scoring by more than 4 points in Year One. And I'm really encouraged by his recruiting on that side. He's an elite evaluator... he was first on Benard Causey before he blew up and flipped to Lsu. He obviously knows what an SEC defender looks like and that bodes well for us moving forward.

Offensively, there's a lot to like. But let's be real... we bog down wayyy too much. Big Lane fan here, and I'm not sure if it's him or CWJ. But they need to spend time watching Texas and FSU during the offseason. Those 2 offenses and playcallers are boatloads more creative in finding ways to get playmakers the ball in space. We need to overhaul the OL and hit some portal/Juco WRs. But the 2024 offense with Dart should be ready to cook.
