    Imagine having Alvin Kamara and JJ Watt as two guys you coached, but not having any idea how to use them. I'm going to start getting angry again, thinking of his dumb ass.

    I have heard this every time Florida has made a coaching change this millennium. Maybe one day it will be true?

    Tennessee beating Florida and them taking a minute to recover don’t necessarily go hand and hand.

    How long until Arkansas State figures out how to get rid of him? I don't think he lasts more than 3 years.

    He thought Watt was a Tight End… and then he thought he was an offensive tackle

    He'll get comfortable and begin getting loaded before his evening commute.

    The Pitt game is going to be a huge reality check and indicator of where we are. They are still going to be a 7-9 win team this year. If we can go in there and take care of business we will have all the reason in the world to start dreaming big.

    I am optimistic since Pickett will not be under center.

    Yeah, they are still strong in the trenches and at RB, but we can hit them over the top if we can manage to protect. All about whether we have the DL that we think we should. If those guys take over we will win, and this season could be special.

    True, but honestly Slovis isn't much worse than Pickett was this time last year. And Patti honestly might be better than Slovis, certainly played better in their spring game. But our offense now knows what it must be, and our DL should be the leaders of the defense, even more so than last year. I'm concerned with depth at LB but the ones at the top of the pile should be improved. It's the secondary that scares me, as I mentioned in the OP. It looks like we might get some help soon through the portal, but we need Turnage and Hadden to improve and overtake Burrell.

    Didn't Pitt also lose their star wide receiver?

    They seem to be in the process of doing so, ya. Rumor is he is going to transfer to USC.

    Last year we caught Pitt at their peak and we were struggling to play the new system. I think this game will look totally different.

    We weren't clicking offensively at that point but we executed well defensively. The difference was that Pickett was nothing short of phenomenal from the second quarter on.

    Imo there's no shame in dropping that one. A lot of growth came out of that afternoon.

    Pitt got a big time QB transfer. Think he’s a former 5 star but can’t remember. He may be a bust though.

    Pickett was a multi-year starter. We will see I guess.

    If Hooker had been the starter then we would have Won. Milton was horrible.

    ... and only QB drafted in the first round.
