The problem is that we might actually be a pretty senior heavy starting lineup again this year--certainly on the OL. So, my below goals could end up reversing; regardless, at least seven reg season wins both the next two years and one eight win reg season between the two shouldn't be too much to ask.

The speculation on Auburn Rant is that Salter might still transfer after he graduates this spring. Who knows if that's true but very risky if that's why we're not pursuing McCloud.

I think it was one of the Auburn Live guys who pointed out that there was no overlap in top 10 HS recruiting teams and top 10 TP recruiting teams. 🤷‍♂️

So...what happened this time? At least on most other fronts things are going our way.

Unf Jake Crain says its isn't happening, ugh.

Phew, glad to get this done with. Seems like a big upgrade. Combine with getting Kite and it's been a damn good week!

This should be our best OL since 2017...I realize that's not saying much but I'll take it lol.

Just wait til Florida hires him next year. 😆

Rock and a hard place…we’re not exactly in prime position to spend big on coaching hires.

I thought it was a given that KA would become QB coach?

Aggies beat Kentucky yay

I *would* prefer we focus our effort$ on a transfer QB but if he wants to come here, awesome!

Speaking of which, can we get an update on who we're going after if Nix did turn us down?

I think most of us are just expecting and/or hoping for Stallings level. Which is still really really good but not immortal.

I hope that last part means he won't be able to keep that same level.

Yeah, I desperately HOPE he turns out to be another Scott Frost. But these things are impossible to tell without hindsight (I'm specifically talking about people arguing that Nebraska should've seen that Frost actually walked into a great situation at UCF).

Yeah, but then how did Meyer recruit so well? UAT has all the same recruiting advantages that UF does.

Um, that's precisely why I asked--who are we targeting instead? Glad we at least got Kelly and McGriff officially in, but we may need strong coordinator hires here.

I'll take Stallings-era level.

So is Derrick Nix still coming?

Some of you are forgetting Urban Meyer's experience when Florida hired him. As much as I hate to admit it, this is an A+ hire any way you slice it.

So can we please bring in the OC and DC hires now? What's the holdup?

This won't be a (rhymes with Ken Late/rhymes with Taylor) sort of mess I hope? Guessing that's what we're trying to avoid in making these moves. Fortunately, I don't think we'd be getting a 4* transfer OT if something like that truly were happening.

Well, hopefully it doesn't keep us from being able to make the necessary progress this next season.

I would be shocked (and very pleased) if he turns down UAT.
