AUwent 3,973 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Yes, I know it's the day after the 2015 season just ended but I think I speak for us all when I say I want to put 2015 far in the rear view mirror. This is a place to post all your season predictions for next year, and possibly prospects for the future--e.g., when you think we'll be good again (if not next year). My benchmark for a successful season is still 8-4 and a bowl win. I think there is some dropoff at Ole Miss (as in, they win 1 or 2 fewer games--I think OM is a bit overrated heading into next year, at least by Herbstreit; no joke, he put them at NUMBER FIVE), Arky and MSU have veteran defenses but young offenses, and since we beat TAMU this year, we absolutely must beat them if we are to show we're headed in the right direction.

doc4aday 1,887 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 We will have a magical season that no one will see coming. This team will make amends for 2013 & 2015. I know this in my heart, and my heart is usually true to me. Will we go undefeated? Possibly. To make this happen, our defense must take the gauntlet in stride one play at a time. I think our defense is on the right path and that we have a solid coaching staff in place that knows how to make the most of the abundance talent we have in place. I feel good about our offense for 2016. I think that Gus hit a homerun with the hiring of CHH. Coach Hand knows the ins and outs of the spread offense that Gus runs. I see CRL taking a less direct role with game time offense. Coach Hand will step up and fill this role resulting in a much improved offense that will make life miserable for the SEC teams we will face in 2016. As far as the QB position, I think that JF-III will win the QB competition and will be a formidable QB that will give defenses fits throughout the 2016 season.

alabamabrown14 9 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I'm really looking forward to the first game of the season against more than likely #1 Clemson. if we are able to win that game or lose in a close one, I think that'll set the tone for the season Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/149621-the-way-too-early-predictionexpectation-thread-for-2016-and-beyond/#findComment-2418691 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dual-Threat Rigby 10,000 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Auburn won't be ranked in a single preseason rankings Auburn will win the national championship Carl Lawson will be #1 DE in the nation if he doesn't get hurt We will finish with 4 of the chosen 5 receivers (shoutouts to the recruiting section) Whoever starts will be a top 3 QB in the conference Robinson will start 13 of the 15 games this season Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/149621-the-way-too-early-predictionexpectation-thread-for-2016-and-beyond/#findComment-2418750 Share on other sites More sharing options...

shabby 2,183 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 With all the coaching changes i imagine we will have some serious growing pains. Bama wins championships because of talent developed in a consistent system. We have had talent. we are lacking consistency. until that's established i imagine we will have some disappointing play. hope i'm wrong.

AuburnSpider 2 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 I predict the exits fill early in game 1. I predict we loose early, middle and late season and end up 6-6 in the ham again or 7-5 in Nashville. I predict Gus resigns in order to return to Arky St and hangs on to Lashly as his OC. I predict Flat Bed hangs on thru another coaching search and names former Tiger player Clay Helton from USC as HC.

doc4aday 1,887 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Saban will retire just before the NCAA slams the hammer to the bammer crammer jammers. Saban will become the spokesman for Ex-Lax and will be paid $10,000,000 per year and will be given a Lincoln that will have a giant turd covering the body of the Lincoln and when he hits the horn, it will fart out the yea alabammer song.

Now if all that were to happen, I seriously think a boycott might be needed until we have a new AD (and a good one at that--Scott Etheridge). Before someone gets angry at me, let me say that I'm too optimistic to think that happens--maybe I'm delusional, but I don't. My early score predictions for first nine games. How realistic do y'all think this is?: Clemson-L, 16-31 ASU-W, 35-17 Texas A&M-W, 31-28 LSU-L, 17-29 ULM-W, 49-10 MSU-W, 27-14 Arkansas-W, 28-24 Mississippi-W, 37-34 (OT) Vanderbilt-W, 35-10 Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/149621-the-way-too-early-predictionexpectation-thread-for-2016-and-beyond/#findComment-2418795 Share on other sites More sharing options...

bg5 536 Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 The offense should be much improved with better receivers, O-line should still be solid, we are still loaded at RB and with competition at QB we are bound to find someone good. On Def. the DL should be pretty good with two great DE's and at least on good DT. The LB's will be ok with the starters but not deep, hopefully with the new DC who is a LB'er guru they will improve and we should be pretty good and deep with the DB's. Special teams will be solid as usual. That said I see us losing to Clemson then twice more for 9-3. IF the QB is really good who knows anything is possible.
