When the 2018 class is signed, that’s when we’ll know. Nothing else really matters imo...

10-3 with a bowl win is nice, but the teams that are playoff contenders year in and year out, have the top recruiting classes year in and year out.

Coach said “We’re comin!”...I sure hope the ‘cruits are.

I rarely follow recruiting, but is this class shaping up to be good or a bust?

Currently ranked 15-17, but the drive to the finish line starts now. The next few weeks are critical.

Agree....my biggest question mark at this point. He needs to show he can reload every year.

Yep. He's shown that we can win with him at the helm although we need to fix dropping games that we shouldn't

And the team showed Improvement throughout the season. So that's good

But neither of those tell us if he can maintain it

All you people are amazing. Last week it was O has to beat aTm to earn my loyalty now it's win the recruiting battle. Next it'll be win the SEC before I'll support him. Just STFU and enjoy the ride. Why do people hate on a guy that applied for a job and got it. It's just dumb.

Seriously. I wasn't hip on the hire but some of these full retards act like he stole the job from Jimbo or Herman.

Absolutely NO ONE to blame here except Alleva!

Alleva: Corch you want the head gig or what?

CEO: Ummm...can I check with the Rant first to make sure I don't hurt anyone's feelings?

Alleva: Sure...go ahead...but don't take too long. Herman and Jimbo are waiting for the word and the fate of the free world hangs in the balance.....so....

Who's hating on CO? Your the only one with a chip on his shoulder. Recruiting is half the battle. Take a pill.

WTF are you talking about? I said nothing negative and i hope he's successful.

Im merely pointing out that one year doesn't tell the complete tale.

I'm not hoping the guy fails or something

Chip? What? I don't let my happiness revolve around what an 18 year old kid decides to do with his life or whether a guy that's worked hard all his life gets a job he may not be the most qualified to get. I say congrats to him and Geaux Tigers to the kid that chooses to represent this school I actually graduated from.

No you're just being passive aggressive toward the job he's already done. We had a mediocre QB and salvaged what could have been a terrible season. I say he's done a good job so far. It's ok to say that you know.

We will see how we close but it looks like our worst class in almost 10 years.

If you pay attention you will notice O trying to hype next years class. The reason is he knows this years class is weak by prior years standards.

The coach and team will be assessed after every game, recruiting season, preseason, spring, at all times. It's never over. No one gets tenure rewards these days.

This is part 1 of a 2 part story.

Part 2 is ... what do the coordinators do.

Dude. You a mind reader?

I think a LOT of positive happened this year. I think he deserves a great deal of credit for the fact the team got better as the season went along

I think people who won't give him that credit but give him all the early season blame are being silly.

You shouldn't assume.

This is literally what i said in my first post. LOL

You just seem mad that i also pointed out recruiting will decide if he can maintain it

Speaking of which, you do realize that if I'm talking about him "maintaining" the progression, that is by default an acknowledgement of progress, right?

Im sure some on the board are legit targets of your ire. I ain't one of em

If this class is solid on the trenches while sacrificing some pretty boy talent, that's not a catastrophe.

We've spent the last few years doing the opposite

If he keeps progress up next great, he really should land a premier class
