Gazing into the Crystal Ball - 2016 Vol Predictions

I think that will take some time for guys to buy in. They were use to a country club atmosphere

 

I'm not sold he's the second coming of Lombardi.

 

Just has to be better than Richt.

 

I'm not sold Butch could coach a goat to shit.

 

Those are some big shoes to fill.

 

Kirby Smart doesn't scare me one bit.

Am I stupid for thinking A&M will be one of our three toughest games of the year? I put them in that 6-8 win range, but I just have a feeling we lose to them.

 

After losing to Arkansas last year, can't blame you for feeling a loss from any team out of the West.

 

You re also asking that from a guy that has yet to run the entire program. I think that is a stretch this early in his career. He may end up be a great hire but I think it takes him longer that 4or 5 games.

 

It's the dreaded Todd Raleigh trap game

 

I dont think Bama scores 35 on us. We may lose but Im seeing 21 being the ceiling for either team.

 

on the other hand, Richt beat one of the best Tennessee teams of my lifetime (arguably the best) four or five games into running an entire program

 

We have a thing for getting first year corches off to good starts

 

Yap.

 

I'm not sold on that either.

 

Me either, but I do think he'll have that defense kicking ass pretty early on. Chaney will have the dink and dunk going, but I do wonder if he'll take the ball away from Michel and Chubb too much

 

Will Muschamp sure wasn't. I don't think Smart is anything great, but I do think the highlight for his season is beating us.

 

Now there's something.

 

Now there's something.

 

I think Shoop will be quite the X factor. Even in those 2 or 3 games this year that our offense falls apart, no one is going to run away from us. That is going to stop the psychological 'here comes the Avalanche' thinking. I think that prevents a lucky first year coach from getting the best of us.

Bama and A&M are the games most likely to lose. FL may be in for a butt whipping.

 

Thats true but I don't see that as the norm.
