Clearly the defense has struggled this year - combination of bad scheme and having mostly transfers from non-SEC caliber schools. Due to our lack of SEC speed/strength, I find it difficult to measure BK's competence as a head coach until we get some dudes out there who can ball.

How many recruiting cycles will it take for the defense to resemble something close to a decent unit? Can we hope for some stops next season? Just wanted to get the rant's opinion on this.

As always,

It's just so upsetting because you can probably take any defense from the 2010-2019 era and plug them in to this team and we are 8-1 at the worst (probably 9-0)

Honestly it will take a really good DC + DL transfers.

The back 7 will return a lot of youngsters who need better coaching. The guys we are losing are veterans who aren’t very good… i.e. Speights

He may have been optimistic when he said we were a year away. I just don't see any way that we are in the same hemisphere of uga, michigan etc. by next season. Especially on defense.

They are big in the trenches, and we just don't look like these guys.

By his 4th year we'll know what we've got. They'll be really good, or an 8-4 program.

I think two seasons, probably. The lack of talent coupled with a completely new staff (probably, can’t see anyone on the current staff staying around) will mean that we’re still going to have some miles to go there.
