    I agree. I think Eaux is as likely as Fisher to succeed/fail.

    The comparison of these 2 guys is like comparing Hallman vs saban.

    We could have a receiving corps right now with upper class kids in John Diarse, Trey Quinn, and Tyron Johnson to go with the guys we have. Leadership would be there in spades and guys who had all played a good bit. Some even before they left. There was a huge exodus of OL since O came on board which is troubling. No question about that. However, there has been a lot of offensive skill guys who have gone elsewhere in the years leading up to the firing. Highly touted guys contributing on other quality teams. Diarse would be the slot guy we need and have lacked since Jarvis Landry -- physical inside guy who moves the chains. He caught a big touchdown today to help upset Okie Lite.

    Last year we had more kickers than linebackers, remember? Aranda sought to fix that and we got a really good haul of linebackers this incoming class. Now we need to attack both lines, especially on offense. We have 11 scholarship OL instead of 18 at minimum. Huge problem. And 3 of them are highly though of freshman right now.

    It isn't pretty, but it is clearly rebuilding. The whole SEC is very down right now. We are clearly not immune. Alleva should never have chickened out. We would be a year ahead of schedule right now and have stemmed some of the bleeding most likely. More Alleva ineptitude is not new. He and FK need to go regardless.

    Well, Saban is ripping and tearing. Fisher is in talent rich FL and got passed by Dabo Sweeney Todd in SC. Had a relatively decent 2016 and so far a pretty sad 2017. Orgeron/Canada/Aranda is unknown but has potential and is picking up tiger droppings left by Miles.

    Nobody is coming close to Bama this year. I'm thinking of taking up needlepoint on Saturdays rather than watch the Bama invitational.

    We need to pull a Vandy and say "We Want Bama!"
    I actually am pumping myself up following one nice drive from Etling vs the Orange. Feeling optimistic about getting the upset.

    Napoleon. We'll have to make strides, but I think we will.
