re: I think expectations need to be tempered for next year

Ole miss had 20 new starters last season and won 11 games.

Expectations should be high.

I agree I said that earlier and it was not well received but again......and this is Lane = not me saying it......We did pretty good with it last year there and the brand here is just better....and he's right.

Quit making excuses and accepting low expectations arbitrarily before the portal even opens. I think we can reasonably say by spring with all the info we have these days whether or not we give a pass for going 8-4 or even worse. I'd even say it's fair to not accept that now.

I'll add that I think if the new o-line coach is competent and with lane's scheme you will see pretty early even with the one's we are losing.....that the 0-line talent is not near as bad as it looked.

There are only so many pieces available in the portal. Not sure he can plug all the holes in year 1. Tempered expectations are necessary.

Well.....he lost ALOT of players from a very talented team in 2024 and he did o.k. and Lane himself said he expects to be able to sell it better here and we should expect that too....cause he's right.
