do know that we went from being 13-1 to 10-3 and now 7-3 through 10 games of this season, with tough games still to come. That's a decline, albeit not as drastic as some chicken littles like to proclaim. But it is a decline and it is critical that Les rights the ship next season.
We have had a couple of weak recruiting classes which have killed the depth we are known for. Over the past two seasons, when a game changer has left, there hasn't been one to fill his shoes. However recruiting is looking up with last years class, this years, and our prospects with some bigtime 2015-17 recruits.

What do you think are the 2 or 3 major changes that Les needs to make to catch up to Alabama and keep ahead of Auburn, Ole Miss and Texas A&M?
We need a new OL coach and hopefully one that is a better recruiter than Stud. I'd also like to see the program bring back some of our younger football alumni to be part of the recruiting staff (like a Chad Jones). I also believe they need to be on more recruits and earlier (which they seem to have come around to). Last, i'd like so see some fire out of Miles. The way the offensive line let Mett get killed at the end of Bama...he should have been lighting into them before they made it to the sidelines.

Examples?
Trying to think of recent examples..
CB: PP7 left and and next year Brooks and Claiborne kept the depth. After Brooks and Mo, Simon was still around.
S: Brandon Taylor leaves and Eric Reid is there. Tyrann thrown in the mix somewhere.
Obviously DB hasnt been an issue in the past.
LB: Kelvin Shep leaves, ryan baker is there. Baker leaves, Minter is there.
RB: Ridley leaves, Ware and Ford step in. They leave and Hill is ready.
DL: Nevis leaves, Levingston (probably doesnt count if we're talking game changer), but Brockers is still there. He leaves but Mingo, Sam, Edwards and Logan are still on the line.
WR: Toliver leaves, Randle is there. Randle leaves and Landry and OBJ step up.
You said recent years so those are just some since 2011.
Now, THIS YEAR, nobody really stepped up on the defense. I can not argue that. But you said the past two season, and that just isnt true at all. Look at how good our defenses were the past two seasons and that will defunk the bad recruiting argument. Eight players from the D leave for the draft but I guess non of them ever stepped up.
