cole256 17,085 Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 I'm going away from wanting a guy who was an o line coach because we've sucked at o line for so long. And I'm not saying a guy is dumb or smart because of a position I don't want somebody that everybody likes because he was at Auburn before. I want somebody who will shake stuff up and won't listen to people who clearly don't know how football is being played now. But most important I want someone who's interest lies for his players. Nothing comes before that. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
au302 2,669 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Great guy and coach. He'll keep us out of the news and probably get us back to winning games. However, out of all the names I've seen, he seems like he'd have the lowest ceiling. Jmo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ability is there but that throwing motion has to change, he’s throwing the football like it’s a baseball and that ain’t gone work. If he can smooth out those mechanics a bit I think he can be at least decent Now a QB who I think isn’t D1 caliber is TJ. Robby has so much talent. I love athletes at QB but you gotta be a qb first. He makes so many mistakes he puts us, himself in a hole. I want to stick with him this year. But he’s gotta clean the game up. I liked him long ago. I think he can improve the fumbling and bad decisions. It’s the throws slightly behind the receiver that concerns me. I really feel bad for TJ. He got hurt and kinda lost out on getting a better chance. But he did get a chance at Ole Miss and also fumbled. Both have their own strengths. They just don’t have enough room to grow into the experience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree as far as the position they are in it's hard to really judge either one. O line is horrible, no run game, no high level athletes at wr..... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s had some horrible turnovers don’t get me wrong but I feel like if he wasn’t a D1 QB he wouldn’t produce ANY kind of plays as a QB. He’s made quite a few improv plays with his arm and legs. I think he’s worthy of sticking with him to see if he can improve imo. I mean this is his first year playing QB on the college level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oklahoma has the offense and Heisman winners to have won 2-3 national championships in the past 15 years or so but haven't because they've lacked one crucial aspect that almost if not all BCS and Playoff champs have had since then and that's dominate NFL defensive linemen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great to have a QB that can go for 50 or 60 with his legs on any given play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bishoptf 819 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 (edited) Maybe this has been discussed but being that Grimes is an OC and would be moving to HC if hired who do we think he would hire as his OC and Offensive line coach? Just curious as to what we think he would do if chosen...more that I think about it wonder who he would hire on the defensive side of the ball... I think Grimes could be decent but again it's another OC moving to HC and having to fill out his coaching staff....my number 1 is still primetime but thought I would ask as to what kind of staff he would assemble...

I mean this is his first year playing QB on the college level What I've seen of Ashford is evidence of why he never took a snap in two years at Oregon. He can run. Beyond that, there's not much beside a strong throwing arm. It would suit me if they spent the off week getting Geriner ready to take the wheel. Ashford would be fun to watch if he played slot receiver and ran some jet sweeps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think he can check us out of bad matchups and audible to plays to take advantage of blitzes? All that will happen is that his confidence will take a hit and he’ll develop bad habits that will have to be untrained. He’ll hit a few big plays and make some dumb mistakes but overall the O won’t move…pretty similar to what we have now? Ashford, our sacrificial QB this year, is the team’s best option. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAAubie 517 Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 J Hoke is saying that Hartwell is no longer the leader. Who are the other candidates? What does this mean for Grimes, Prime, etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
