Agreed with the recruiting side about specific positions. So who is that on? Saban? Golding? How we have the #1 class as many times as we have and don’t have the defense to show for it? I think the part we are missing is the coaching up of the talent we have on the defensive side of the ball. I wasn’t happy with the offense this year either…as far as play calling. Bryce single-handedly saved our bacon when the play was a bust. We need coaches who can coach, recruit, and have the ability to light fires under asses…Pruitt was awesome at that…Kiffin and Sark were awesome at that. Georgia (offensively and defensively) played with grit, passion and intensity. With the exception of a few players, we did not. I do put that on the coaches. I hope Saban was pissed off having to sit on the sidelines of the championship this year. I also hope he saw the passion and intensity that Georgia played with.I do not disagree with you about our defense and how they have played especially in crucial situations. I will say, as someone else said above, with our two 1000 yard receivers on the field, we wore that great D out last year. I believe we would have done the same in the NC game as well with just one of them on the field. We lost both and were still ahead in the 4th qtr. I know I am not stating anything we all do not already know but just pointing out some things that should cause us to tap the breaks on UGA the standard of all standards. We need to get back to the Bama standard.
On the recruiting, I would be interested how the rankings look at the position groups. How has our recruting looked at the DL and LB positions? That seems to me where some issues are.
