ESPN just dropped their top coaches ranking for 2026 and I already know our guy got snubbed again because the. You watch them put Kirby Smart at the top and Sarkisian in the top five and Lane Kiffin getting all. Three years ago this program was a mess. Nobody wanted to come here. The roster had holes evverywhere and the culture was broken. Now we're stacking talent in the trenches, we're developing players who actually get drafted, and we've got this place buzzing again. But that doesn't fit the narrative so they keep us in the second tier while programs like Texas A&M who. Bill Connelly has us behind Texas and Georgia in the SEC preview again. Same script EVERY July. They look at last year's record and the recruiting rankings and they don't factor in what happens when you walk. They don't factor in that our offensive line is finally getting the portal reinforcements we needed and our defensive front has been quietly stacking bodies. The disrespect is honestly fuel for fall camp. Every single guy in that locker room knows what the national media thinks of us. And they know we open with Baylor at home on a Thursday afternoon when that stadium is going to be absolutely unhinged. Let them sleep. We've been counted out before and we keep finding a way to make noise.
