but depth was not achieved yet and that was evident when Lawrence and alexander and key were out. but, let's not nit pick over semantics; the fact is that this years team had some holes in it that prevented it challenging for the SEC.

Two narratives constantly being spewed... depth and injuries... NONE of you ever gave Miles that break AND he dealt with a FAR TOUGHER SCHEDULE through the time he was fired than Orgeron has had the last 1 3/4; years.
But let’s go there. Why the rebuild or the OLINE WHO WAS RANKED 1 in 2016? Could it possibly be the losses in the offseason after 2016 and not th depth? The starting sophomores like Weathersby and Clapp were coming back not to mention Malone and others. Orgeron ran off a starter from the 2016 to Southeastern because he didn’t pay attention to details in November 2016. He doesn’t pay attention to his students grades or their behaviors. See Sci Martin defection a guy HE RECRUITED AND WOULD HAVE AS DEPTH IN 2018 AS A MINIMUM.
The defections from the dline and Oline were HIS FAULT. Those were not guys going to the draft.

Troy. O probably handled the situation poorly but so did Canada. that was unfortunate to me as I thought canadas system would have worked much better in year two.

Troy was all on O. This is about being able to see the big picture and understand the complexity of an offense built to compete. It takes TIME to happen yet Canada constantly said that they were a work in progress and O felt the heat then made an emotional response prior to the Troy game which will ultimately cost him. Meddling 101. Too dumb to understand so he brings people down to his level of performance by meddling.

and don't act like 9-3 was a disasterous year.

It was 9-4 and pretty bad considering who the lost to and who they actually beat. AU was 10-4 and was their best win when Gus shite the bed.
Troy loss and bashing by MSU were embarrassing to say the least. In a down SEC, this team should have been 11-2 on the year at a minimum. ND was no where near the level of talent as this team and Orgeron lost that game.
