Yes, it’s unacceptable how mismanaged the DT position is for a major SEC program. He literally admitted they needed help there.

How did he mismanage this? 3 DTs left in the draft and no others that were any good left. He has been trying to get some but as stated many times these guys want stupid money.

Incorrect. Billy has said he went for a fraction of what Barrow/Williams did

Billy also said Williams and Barrow weren’t motivated by NIL until they came in and said we want more so there his cred on that.

I don’t hate CBK at all. He just said we would compete for a championship in year 3 and we need DTs in order to do so.

And he still might. A strong ball control offense like I think they will have with probably the best OL and OL coach in the SEC. A strong run game controlling the clock can hide a weakness on defense a lot of times. Last year we were quick strike and the D spent a lot of time in the field and we all know about House and his stupidity. Baker and Davis will have these guys coached up. And we have DT’s they just are not elite but they don’t have to be to be serviceable. He will get a couple extras before the season for depth I’m sure but saying he whiffed like you have several times is wrong. He tried to get Barrow, Williams and Blidi but they chose money. Probably the best payday any of them will ever see as I don’t see any of those 3 are much more than very late day 3 picks or UDFA’s

He let Wingo and Smith wait until the last minute to let the staff know they were leaving. We could have utilized the Winter transfer portal which had much better options. And before you say we didn’t have a defensive staff, we got other defensive players during this window.

Doesn’t mean he’s wrong about Blidi….


I do agree that our offense will be elite again
