You know more than I and we do need talent, but this is college football. Coaching is so crucial. It shouldn't be this bad. It was a set up question. Grimes, of course, the one that will be our next HC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get Koy Moore and Tank in space and hope someone misses. I'm not sure we have enough experience at QB to pull it off well, regardless.

I think we should focus on getting the defense to move side to side to wear them down physically. Try to get them running and thinking vs reading and reacting. On passing plays, I would always have 2 TEs on either side to chip the edge rushers. Quick slants, outs. With this same line, we have had designed down field plays in years past. This staff simply isn't smart enough to understand how to scheme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gctiger 981 Posted September 28, 2022 Share Posted September 28, 2022 Hire Golf as the OL coach and give each of the OL players a case of PBR to consume pre-game. I don’t see how it could be any worse than what we’ve already seen… 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you fix the issues? Personnel change? Who? Different plays? Which? Scheme? What do you adjust? What do you do to fix our most glaring on field issue? That's a great question.........while anyone one of those lineman could knock me on my arse easily, the average d lineman in the SEC isn't 55yrs old😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger Kent 29 Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 In Harsin's 2 recruiting classes, he has only signed 3 OL recruits. To put this in perspective, during the same timeframe, he signed 12 DL recruits. 3 OL vs 12 DL!!!!! This makes me question... Why didn't Harsin make the OL his top priority? Why didn't Harsin sign any OL's from the transfer portal? Why do we have an Alabama guy coaching our OL? Is our OL coach secretly working for the enemy? With numbers like that, it almost seems like it. LOL!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aucanucktiger 1,891 Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 The hope was to RS true frosh Harris, but if this 6 yr OL continues to play this poorly he needs to see the field. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old fan 47 800 Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 AU has had a ton of strong OL’s over the years until let’s say the last 4 or 5. This should be the MAIN focus of the next HC. The trenches keep you in games and are sometimes more important than even the QB play. See Bama under McCarron and McElroy. Serviceable QB’s but far from top tier talented QB’s. Even UGA, with Stetson. Improve the OL and things will get better on the O. Until that happens, it doesn’t matter who the coach is. Just my two cents worth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUx 3,166 Posted October 1, 2022 Share Posted October 1, 2022 Pretty sure @Brad_ATXis the only one who proposed any option within the coaching staff’s capabilities: flex tape. Lots and lots of flex tape. Everything else requires a miracle one week in the making. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

augolf1716 21,969 Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 Watch the OL a lot during the game uga could have rushed only two and still would have put pressure on Robby.

Simple miscommunication. We’ll get that cleaned up in practice. Just watch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meh130 1,056 Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 (edited) 1 hour ago, bigbird said: This is every bit as bad as the 2020 performance. The 3-technique defender shaded on the RG’s right shoulder has his hand down, and the Edge outside of the RT in a 7-Tech is clearly indicating pass rush. The NT is shaded so far to the left of the center he is basically in a 2-Tech position, but facing the center. And our RG turns left to help the center, or to protect against an LB or safety blitz? It makes zero sense. As the former NFL QB said in his video on AU’s OL’s 2020 performance against UGA, you have to account for every defender who has his hand on the ground or is otherwise strongly indicating Rush. Edit: I just realized the NT was actually a linebacker and dropped into coverage. That left the LG, the C, and the RG blocking air.

roe4christ 979 Posted October 9, 2022 Share Posted October 9, 2022 We need to get an entirely new OL through the transfer portal during the off season. No one needs to play next year. Good thing for us, many will leave due to expired eligibility. New coaching staff needs to start from scratch, not try to fix this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
